Re: ilugd is shutting down

Hmmm.  My suspicions.  As Raj is a "Good Guy", he formats his mail neatly,
and reads it before sending.  See below.

Wrong spelling (space before a "(")
Wrong sounding (Delhi in particular?  Not MS India, or MS Calcutta?)

AHA!!!  A typo

Microsoft is captialised, and elipses have three dots.

Till _after_ the court verdict, I believe.

And ILUG-D is captialised.

And Raj's MUA has his name set, I suppose, not just an address.  Not that
there _is_ any MUA line in the headers.


All in all, from the formating, this is a kid who discovered that
telneting to port 25 lets you send mail.

Of course, Raj may have been in shock, like the RPM 3 to 4 upgrade days
;-)

Tell tale sign.  It is <CR>--<CR>Signature, not <CR>--Signature<CR>

And Vivek, it is a "free" country, and democratic as well, but this is not
the same as "I can say what I like".  There _are_ limits to free speech.
