Jim,
It exists in all its glory in India, and I have no illusions about a lot of
what goes on here - I thought I made that clear when I said no country is
immune. Or do you mean to say that only Americans are members of this forum
for you to take it so personally? You mean to say only Indians traffic in
humans in the USA? Or, as usual, is your thin skin and insecurity in
evidence?
Cheers
Jayanand
