Dear Mr. Ahsan:

With reference to your post # 80, I must say that I do not have the luxury of time to afford myself the indulgence in a circular argument with you. I do not wish to be a participant in an argument of the type: ‘you said - I said – he said’ etc. Through your posts you have clearly demonstrated a lack of originality and the understanding of the subject under discussion. You are under the impression that merely returning the criticism with a criticism constitutes a discussion. No, it does not. You may not have noticed, but our intention on this forum is to share information and advance our arguments by being receptive to criticism and disagreements. If a disagreement or criticism is bending you out of shape, I am afraid, I cannot waste my time in a dialog with you.  

This is my last post to you on the current subject.

Regarding your post#82, please see the related remarks in my response to Ms. Farzana Hasan’s post #81.
