Hi Alok, I think there has been a miscommunication or misunderstanding in the dialog here. Alok, I don't think Nikos was trying to insult you.
Nikos is one of the most active and helpful members of the Kannel mailing lists and should be treated with some respect, as he was after all trying to help you. If you want to continue this debate, please do so off the mailing list (mail Nikos directly) as it has no relevance here.
