If you lie and do not use your real name that makes it a crime and punishable by law. Or maybe following the law is something too foreign to you? Following the law is not foreign to me but based on the statement you made above, clearly logical thinking is not your strong suit. This forum permits the use of pseudonyms. If someone posts using a name that is not his/her own, it becomes a pseudonym even if the name used as a pseudonym is usually associated with being a conventional name. To try and reduce this to an example that you would understand, if your real name is "Soumen Barua" but you register the name "Mujibur Rehman" as your user id, the fact that Mujibur Rehman is not an uncommon name in Bangla Desh - and was the name of your first president - does not change the fact that it is a pseudonym when you use it. A user id that appears to be a genuine name because it is conventional does not mean that it is the actual name of the person who posts under that user id. Not a tough concept to understand for most people but you may need some one to explain it to you. Yes, this is a public forum but you CAN NOT to jump into a conversation that was not directed or responded to you. So, read if you like but DO NOT RESPOND because I was not talking to you This entire forum is based on a free exchange of ideas and comments - a difficult concept to follow for someone who has no compunction about curbing first amendment rights. Show me where in the TOU for this forum it states that only the person to whom a post was directed has the right to respond. Do you even think about what you write before you post these sort of nonsensical comments? If what you want are only specified people to respond to your views use email or possibly a blog, where the participants are limited to a select few. Cheers, until next time

I was doing some research the other day on the ancient history (I guess this was one of my hobbies including my other hobby that is going out in some location with my SLR camera for a photoshoot). Anyway, I digress, I kept wandering that there is a parallel between the Inca Kingdom and what happened to them ultimately closely will follow the fate of Iraq. Cheers, S PS: Can Congress shove this whole prison ordeal under the rug and move on? Maybe it is too much to ask for.
