Amit, if you send any more spam like this to the list, you'll be banned. Last warning.

OK - I'm willing to believe it (this probably isn't the only time I ever got caught by a joe-job.) I want to point out, though, that your general list misbehavior - e.g., top-posting and sending HTML instead of plain text - adds up to a less than stellar picture, and makes things like this believable. If an email of this sort showed up purporting to come from, say, Thomas Adam, I'd know that it wasn't from him; that just wouldn't add up.

Please do help us all out by adhering to the list rules, and I promise to stop suspecting you of spammer-like habits.
