Hi Mr. MTP,

I was expecting this reply. Especially you being a lawyer. See how easy it 
is to find out if there is a bit of commonsense. I am registered as a 
volunteer and also in the business directory. If you really cared you could 
have easily found out. i suppose that is what these things are there for in 
the first place. now inspite of being a techie, though i should not dare to 
contest a lawyer, i will try in good spirit.

My brother, you are intentionally misquoting me and i can understand. Asking 
for help and knowing the credentials of people becoming a part of a sincere 
effort is nothing bad; especially when the product has been approved at 
savannah as a project. Now, asking for help for a project registered at 
savannah does not amount to recruitment dear SIR.

And believe me, i have had a good response. There are people who are willing 
to join me in the spirit of free software and GNU.

In your entire mail you have mentioned my "Trying to Recruit" people a total 
of four times. I can again understand. I think once was enough.

[REPETITION OF ABOVE] techies can comptete anyways ...

Now your entire mail is on assumption that i have not disclosed myself.
- Did you check the volunteers list ?
- did you see the business directory ?

You did not, but others did and they contacted me at my office and we are 
meeting soon to discuss the software. The software is free and open to all.

>helping *you*, that guy should convince you of his credentials. Is that how 
>you seek help?

you are right. my response would have been more outright if i did not care 
about the spirit of free software and openness to criticism. Brother, i am 
still not contesting you but your opinion and the language used by you in 
your first mail.

As far as knowing a bit about people is concerned, if i have asked people 
about them, i have written back to them about me. AND I AM NOT RECRUITING 
ANYBODY !! They are still helping !!

Now, like you , i repeat ... you i could know you, you could do it too.

Now, no matter what, using offending language is not justified even if you 
disliked something. You could have advised me to improve and i would have 
accepted gladly. But writing "haha" "hehe" and "without regards" is just 
hilarious. (ref: your mail that triggered it all).

i will try and end it all by being apologetic about offending you in what 
ever manner.

Now, lets put an end to it.

WITH REGARDS to MTP and all others,
tarun gaur
