sir we come here just for the sake of knowledge.i don't want to disturb others.i felt bad when Mr.sarma said about my mistake.So i just wanted to rectify it and the only way i found was to apologize.I don't wanted to pose myself great here.We lack some facilities here which you people don't.so i wanted to learn more and i found this was one of the ways.This is actual fact. please don't think otherwise.RetiredHAL said:Why all the apology acceptances ? An engineering student in India (which is a leading and emerging electronic IT country) is probably quite "computer savy". AND very probably is quite aware of forum etiquettes.
His method of trying to solicit info was wrong. I searched the forum and I still can not find a new post with his original enquiry.
I really do not care if his intentions were misguided or deliberate.
I was just worried that his private email to me breached guidelines or posed a security risk (as stated in my opening post). as I found "ZIP" on his name or posts.
As has been explained to me this is possible. Ok, lets move on, I accept that someone whom I cannot locate on this forum is allowed to post private messages. I think that this "loop hole" should be reviewed. (Post before Access to Private Mail Messaging)
Lastly, I cannot think of one occasion where anyone would join a forum AND NOT make a new post or reply to a post !
Sorry, I dont feel at all inclined to feel sorry for Prathosh, Sorry, Sorry ( do I get another green blob too)
Cheers

Great Sir, RetiredHal, I admire your openness. I only wish to see 5stars across your name soon. I feel there a way to block PM or e-mail.RetiredHAL said:Why all the apology acceptances ?

This is the secret of youth, in a nutshell. Our minds are like our muscles; the more we use what we have, the more we are given to use!mvs sarma said:Perhaps, openness and accepting what he did was wrong, would have have paid him
I feel we need not bother about the squares or stars across our names. If, we can serve, we can , Take my example, a retired person. I want to learn further and share what i think I know to others, and I am sure this puts a lot of strain on my mind to rehearse the subject, and I love it. lot of learning I am able to do on an international and technical site like this.
That is a great thing to feel proud about! I don't know how old you are, but I do think you are wise.I feel prod of being in a society of eminent people spread across the world, but so close. I really enjoy the global village effect, courtesy the invention of Internet and world wide web. Same time I am thankful for getting taught, how to move around in this society, learning from my likely mistakes.

as my personal data is open and I an running 63 now, having retired from Indian Telecom, where i was lucky to serve nearly 40 years including an year of training. I don't really know whether wise, but i know one thing for sure, I have to learn to avoid being childish at times.
(OFFTOPIC) -- Being childish has worked for Michael Jackson so far...BeeBop said:Wow, you have 12 years more than I. I hope you are around much longer yet!
I think we all need to learn to avoid being childish (at least I do,) but child-like is good.

At 63 you are still a 'spring chicken'.!
I am 76 this year and only semi-retired, what you might call an 'old rooster'
