[Arash Zeini]

Hi All,

This is a general reply and not a one to one reply to Aryan and I am sorry for 
being late, but I did not see this one earlier.

I would like to request once again that all memebers of our lists to refrain 
from posting emails containing bad langauage. Specially if they are meant or 
can be taken as to be personal.

I hope this is the last time we have this here.

Thanks for your understanding,
Arash
