I would like to know who sent Santosh the alleged "death threat", presumably by e-mail, and precisely what the message said. If the wording of the message really constitutes a "death threat" this would be a reprehensible and serious matter, demanding some action against the threatener. We know from the Joy Braganza fiasco that Santosh knows how to trace where e-mails come from. > We also know that some readers often deliberately misunderstand what others have said, often by truncating their messages to change the meaning. I'm not accusing Santosh of ever doing this. Nooo! He wouldn't do that. It would be a violation of his home-made moral code :-)) > BTW, I don't think telling someone to "get ready to meet their maker" is a death threat per se. I have been told by various relatives, teachers and priests all my life to get ready to meet my maker. Some even had weapons in their hands when they made the suggestion, like canes, rulers and chalk-dusters. I never thought they were offering to facilitate my meeting with my maker. > As I have outlined in another post, I have already declined 6 serious invitations to meet my maker, BY SOME ACTUAL REPRESENTATIVES OF MY MAKER, WITH ST. PETER CASTING THE DECIDING VOTE AGAINST IT, and, unlike Santosh, I DO believe I have a maker :-)) > --- Santosh Helekar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
