Thanks for welcoming me. I've been around since 2000, but I've rarely shared my views. I require too much time to frame a sentence :). Anyway, thanks for praising my limited english writing skill :)..I'll hopefully improve more with time. Well, I didn't know there was a book written on white guilt. Seems interesting. And yes, I want to write about my impressions of the American life & MOQ soon. I'm just waiting for my 2nd year to complete :). good day, -Sharath ============================== Ping-pong & life are similar - both a quest for perfection. ============================== Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
