    Yeah phones(Mobile+Landline) went off for some time. Now back.
    Dr Awab, Can’t bloggers define an allied strategy against these bullshits of Mush regime & write continuously to aware people. Currently most blogs are One man show, just defining point of view for a single person.
    Sorry, If can’t explain accordingly, but I think you will get it.

But to bring a little sanity in the debate we strongly frown upon comments that are abusive, off-topic, use foul language, resort to racial attacks, use caps-locks, habitual flamers are shown the door especially those commenters who resort to ad hominem attacks are definitely deleted when caught. Simply said, if you can carry a civilized discussion then the floor is open to your hearts desire. But, we still reserve the right to delete any comment that we deem inappropriate without reason
