Santosh, you need never apologise to me. Even if you spell apologise the American way with a 'z'. Feel free to call me brain washed, brain damaged, brain dead, brain less or whatever you wish as long as it is meant in jest or as a sarcastic tool, as was obvious in your posting.

Santosh: "I also want to saythat Mario Goveia is most likely a good man who just cannot resist being hostile and hyper-defensive in debate. I have my faults as well. So I want to apologize to him and others for any excesses that I might have committed. From now on I will leave Mr. Goveia alone."
Cecil:
Yes that 'infected needles' debate had been going on much too long, but I think it also was beneficial in the sense that people will think twice before simply forwarding panic-creating hoaxes in future. The long drawn debate also brought a few worms out of the woodwork to comment. Hopefully they will continue to interact and contribute and not just complain. As for leaving "Mr. Goveia alone", I don't know what to say. If anyone continues to be personally abusive I think he/she has to be told off by other subscribers. We can't always expect the Admin Team to step in and play Big Momma.
Cheers!
Cecil
