i consider ppl who know which pants they r wearing as gurus ;-) dont take the
literal meaning ( i know u were in ur pyjamas when u were typing this reply ).
and abt being certified as a guru ( by me alone ) u will have to tell me and
the list members abt what u think of the original message and where i went
wrong in my tests. ( i also observe that u r nearly 4 hours ahead of all
others in india. plz change ur system date to the time u hear after a
ding-dong early morning on the radio )
