Hi Raju,

	To some people the *fair* economic model is one which helps 
him/her to make money like Bill. Everything else is just a bad
economic model. What ever you say about sustaining with free software
they will never understand. Its just a waste of time for us. 

	We can use the time spend on these people to empower the 
students with freesoftware as Mr Saravanan does. Teach them about
free software.

Arun.
