  Look who is talking. Glorify eve-teasing and when u find that
  there isn't anyone to nod heads, stoop down and evoke sympathy.
  Knowing your earlier acts of demagougery, I shouldn't be too
  surprised at such stunts.["language used": you must be kidding!
  unless you didn't know the difference between tone and content]

>After all, in my company there were no eve teasers. Not my fault!!

  sarcasm, thy name is srini.

  Ah, the village headman.... [spin doctor rather]

  *i* wdn't have to do the dirty job nor am i interested. your patently
  malformed opinions [edicts rather] on every issue under the sun have
  taken care of that wherever/whenever you have made your presence felt.

  hey, i am scared of your net.henchmen. Btw, even the demagogues could
  learn a lesson or two from you about inciting mobs. Since you are too
  concerned about keeping down the noise level of this newsgroup, i am
  most willing to cooperate with you by not posting one more on this
  issue provided *you* sit tight too.

ps: frankly, your sanctimonious attitude is less than honest,
    not to mention, quite unconvincing. your closeted views
    show up eventually like they did just now.

 SSP,
   This is SP. I like to mention that the numbers `4906' and `4934'
don't mean anything. The numbers for postings in your news-server
not necessarily match with the numbers for postings in other 
news-servers and there are many reasons for that. Sridhar Venkatraman
may be able to list all reasons for that, but I can think of a few.
Some netters distribute their articles to USA or their local site and
such articles don't appear in Usenet sites outside USA or the specified
local sites. Some sites take a day ot two to receive the posted articles
and if somone who has set a worldwide distribution to his articles cancels
his articles immediately after posting, such articles will appear not
available in his site, but it will have a number in his site, but it
won't appear in other news-sites which receives articles late.     

   However, the netters can use the `search facility' while reading
to get the articles you have posted. ( It is available in both `rn'
and `trn'. ) 

   [ SSP's article - III part of Gita Wolf's essay deleted ]

  Thanks for posting this essay.

     Many thanks.  Actually I was thinking that the article number in the
newsgroup is universal and hence I was putting the article numbers in each
part.  Sundarapandiyan already explained about it.   Your suggestion is also a
right one and I will do it in future postings.  Sorry for not doing so earlier.

	Yeah! Even I dont remember the year, but there was a song
like this. It went as :

	"chinna chinna aasaigaL! nenjil sErthu vaitha aasaigaL!
	 solla solla, mella mella sugam vaLarkum aasaigaL!"

	The stanzas were of the same theme as the Roja song though
the wordings were different. I remember one aasai :-) - "mezhuguvarthi
veLichathil kuLikka aasai" Odd, why I remembered this particular one
:-).
	The song was by Vairamuthu,

With whatever Tamil I know, I cannot see why the above lyrics
should be a male fantasy,  or is it that you always associate 
sexual activities with the male ?
   May be I am taking it a bit too far, but I guess this 
reflects the average guy's attitude (assuming
what u write is what an average guy will reason with) of
attributing qualities to the females which we do not attribute
to an average guy and thus push the female to her `traditional'
role.
   One can cry as loud as you want about eve-teasing, but with
such attitudes, we will not go too far.
