*** I seem to recall a test, err, wait, I most definitely recall a test
that's administered to little kids as a joke. The first line reads
something to the extent of "read all of the questions first before
you proceed", and then the last question says "ignore all of the
questions before this one".
*** It seems that the test most definitely hasn't died out, but is
still being thrown around. So, let me answer your sincere question:
*** I don't recall ever having needed to define the term Hindu Unity,
since I was referring to people who use it as their battle cry,
no pun intended. Specifically, I had said:
>Except for the fact that I've seen vanishingly few examples these days
>among people calling for "Hindu Unity".
*** Had those people chosen a different battle cry, then I would've
replaced the phrase with their new battle cry, and it would have served
to identify the same set of people, even if the phrase were a completely
fabricated term with no inherent meaning.
*** So, the question of asking me to define "Hindu Unity" is one that
serves no purpose - I was merely using the term to identify a group of
people based on their calling for "Hindu Unity".
*** Seems to me that I've most definitely answered the question.

P.S. Did anyone else notice the word "screw" being used as a verb on
SRH recently? I would've thought that concerns over the CDA
would've caused that part of Anand Bemra's sig to get rejected,
but I guess I'm wrong.
