> Its sad, you can't believe that a reality(or life) other than one similar to yours exists.

How on earth did you distill that from what I wrote?

Had it occurred to you that I'm genuinely interested and that I think that Mahmud's story really must be something that I would enjoy to hear / read?

As for not being born with a silver spoon in your mouth, I think I could qualify for that category easily.

I must have been on one of my out of earth experiences, when I read your comment.

I misinterpreted and read sarcasm in what you wrote. Apologies for that.

No problem. I have a lot of out-of-band contacts with HN'ers, Mahmud is one of them and I meant every word I wrote there. Feel free to drop me a line if you want to, email in my profile, I'd like to understand how I triggered your sarcasm-o-meter so I can avoid doing so in the future.

I can see now that you meant it really and in a good way.

".....I can avoid doing so in the future......"

It is me who should work on not coming to a conclusion too quickly, without knowing the background. But, Thanks. It was also a good lesson for me by observation in how to react, in an indignant but respectable manner, when somebody accuses you of something that you are not.
