A turf war is not what I see Ravi. All I see is a revolt of a smart guy against stupidity. By the way, being a "childish" scientist myself, I support childishness in every aspect of life. It is a great deal of this seriousness, such as the seriousness of our rulers, among other things, that make us suffer dearly, in my non-humble opinion. You should see how serious the Turkish generals are. I don't know if you have any child but I have a seven years old and envy him beacuase of his ability to get the attention wants. He simply cries very loudly whenever he needs attention. As a Turkish saying goes, "The baby who doesn't cry, doesn't get the milk." I love my son more for that ability of his. Childishly yours, Sabri
