To Michel: I will give a rocking chair

Submitted by Plato (India), Feb 6, 2007 at 22:30

Hi Michel, As you would have realised by now, this blog is a war of words. I am having a tough (and a great) time looking out for the hostile stuff coming from two different directions. That is why I have delayed appreciating the friendly fire going overhead. All those words you find distasteful, consider them to be stink bombs and put on your mental gas mask and don't let them bother you. They are just meant to add some odour, admittedly unpleasant, to the proceedings. They are harmless when you come to think about, it is the other stuff that is dangerous.

I appreciate you still being on this blog. It would get kind of lonely if you were not here. Noah and Susan are tough as nails and I try to take time and care to answer them and I am short of time, its not that I am ignoring your posts. I read all of them. I don't know how they do it, or even you, my fingers tips are already calloused and I literally drop off on my keyboard at night. I think they must be on auto mode to whip up stuff like that.

Thanks for that article by Zakaria, it was encouraging stuff, and thanks for your kind words. I will stay in touch through this blog as I live in a not very friendly environment. When I move to a less hostile area I will be glad to stay in touch privately.
