It is terrible, Nish. I cannot tell you how bad it is. They are such shrewd businessmen they outcompete everyone else. Cheaper, better, tastier, friendlier. It must be stopped! ;) To be honest though, Indians from where I come from do have a reputation for border-line wheeler-dealing. Sometimes they cut too close to the legal divide. Nice people, it's nothing personal, you just have to be very sharp to do business with them. But it's too early in the day to be going back and forth about generalisations. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Pope Pius II said "The only prescription is more cowbell. "

"For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you would never have considered. That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence." - Q (Star Trek: The Next Generation) ^ Blog
