You better read what I said again. If we were in the "objective matter-of-fact
example giving" bussiness, you should have also given some example like:
Was Allen Ginsberg, a pot-smoking, homosexual hippie who joined ISKCON and
became Swami Prabhupada's disciple and contemplated Lord Krishna's handsome
form and declared that he felt accepted in ISKCON
a. a vaishnava?
b. a hindu?
c. vaishnava but not Hindu?
How come such "serious, concerete" examples never occur to you? After all you
are closely related with ISKCON. Oh, I know, that would be too close to home
wouldn't it?
Dear sir, if you think I am naive enough to believe your "matter-of-fact,
serious" examples, I can think of a good retort, albeit unfortunately, in
Tamil
"kAthu ErkanavE kuththiyAchu, vera ALappAru" - Rough translation: "My ears are
already pierced, look for someone else". Unfortunately it does not make sense
in English. Ask some Tamil friend to explain it to you.

The last time I posted it, you were unable to answer it anyway. Exercise for
you. Dig up the archives and find my questions if you are eager to see it at
once. I'll try to post my questions sometime later, if you can wait.

PS: This is yet another post which I posted only to srh, the reply to which
has found it's way to multiple groups. Please have the courtesy to inform me
of such cross postings.
