Hei, Rui--
How dare you make the allegation that Cornel lacks a sense of humor? I saw
at least five such charges (I might have missed some more) in your email

forth the matter of caste and castigates Bamons on the Goanet forum. Don't
you experience the same emotion when you read his emails?
Give the man a break, will ya?

get my considered response. In that case I make it clear that it is a
serious point and that I have a view on it. However, when I am confronted
