One more request. Everyone who posts on Access India must sign off the post with their names. I am also guilty of violating this courtesy. Often times one does not get to know who exactly has posted a comment or a piece of information. Signing off posts with our names is a good idea. It completes the communication. Hope members don't mind this.
