And you are a 'moderator'?  funny..  At the very least, being a dog is better than being an ass-wipe.

CLR, I have been a big fan of your writing since the PP blog days. I have always held your ability to put your ability of clear expression in high regard. But of late, i sense a certain sense of frustration creeping into your posts. It is understandable especially given the provocation of often  unreasonable arguments from the 'other side' (kubukde's post is a classic example) and a feeling of 'helpnesses' at being unable to prevent the seeming violation of justice with regards to SG. However, I sincerely hope that you are able to maintian the qaulity of your posts by your own high standards. This DG will benefit a lot from it.

Thank you Shukla. You are right on both accounts. I have to keep this in mind. It is good to have a reality check from time to time.

oh what a mature comment, coming from a person who feels that this is childish board

I'd suggest you read the original comment and my subsequent explanation.  If you did and still think I said this is a "childish board," well then let the dog help you.

And btw, if someone questions my parentage or equates me to a dog, why do you expect me to let it slide...  if you can dish it out, you should be able to take it, no?

Really? Or are you equating yourself to the dog from a hindi muhavra provided by Blwe.

Well this board has far more stimulating thought provoking posts than personal remarks' posts. And in a DG having 150-200 active members, it is common to have a few sly personal remarks here and there, especially when most folks in this DG are passionate about cricket as a sport. Therefore, this is not a childish board by any stretch of imagination. Instigating is one thing, getting instigated is another. Ignoring these silly statments of provocation is one of the signs of maturity.

Anyways, I find most of your posts quite interesting to read. So, letz forget about this and move on.

Point taken.  I'll try to restrain my trigger finger.
