You are still defending yourself instead of getting the point. Why? | How can you be sure that Abhijit Rao is actually my name in real life. You can produce any number of idiotic "problems" in your own defense. Until you demonstrate that you /understand the point/, your defense means exactly nothing, however. In this case, the point is that we can be very certain that your full, legal name is /not/ "quasi". This is why you are asked to discontinue it. | And about defending myself, no.

You have provided sound evidence that you should enter a lot of people's kill-files with the last idiotic comment. Why do you guys work so hard to make yourself look so goddamn screwed-up when you could simply have gotten the point and said something more honest like "I don' wanna!" instead of trying to poke holes in the basis for the request, which just looks really, really retarded. *sigh* -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder. Act from faith, and failure makes you blame someone and push harder.
