<BR>Dear Forwardee of the following letter,
<BR>
<BR>I don't know whether I am authorised to 
<BR>answer/input/feed-back on this matter at all. It is 
<BR>addressed to another group by someone who is 
<BR>here also. 
<BR>If he wanted any input really, he would have 
<BR>asked me directly because he knows that I can put in 
<BR>something.
<BR>I am writng this because you have also forwarded 
<BR>something by someone else in one more group about 
<BR>'Maraikkaayars'. 
<BR>
<BR>Regards
<BR>
<BR>JayBee

<BR>>This difference is partly a result of the fact that the South Indian
