Fw: [Reader-list] The Vedavatis of this world

[Tapas Ray]

With apologies to Ms Vedavati, I am forwarding a message I have received 
from her offlist. This is because there is nothing personal in the message, 
and it pertains to the discussion going on onlist.

I have a couple of points to make for Ms Vedavati's kind consideration. It 
seems she has not noticed that a discussion actually has been going on. 
("Argument" is the word she likes.) I don't know if she has been too wrapped 
up in her own rhetoric to listen.

Second, her name, address ... "identity" is the word that escapes her ... is 
very much the business of those who are "arguing" here. We are not ghosts, 
but real human beings talking about real human situations.

(In the flesh for the present, but would love to be a ghost some day.)
