Shrisha Rao, in one of his personal swipes, brought up material from the

private correspondence that cannot be found under any of the URLs which he

gave. He brought it up - and in what looks like another attempt at character

assassination. (Should I at all react and defend myself against this sort of

thing? If so, how? Are we having a discussion that is going anywhere?

Difficult questions.) I mentioned this to save inquisitive readers the

trouble of looking for something which they cannot find in the texts he

refered to, and so I was actually doing the readers a favour. But I have

explicitly said in my previous message that I find it indecent to bring in

such material (and I wanted to impress upon S. Rao how it is wrong: hence

that brief reference at the end) and that I want the matter to rest there.
