Recently the following piece of mail showed up on iitbnet mailing list.
I presume that the english is deliberate, yet I found some part rather
amusing. I have underlined it using ^^^^ symbols. I presume that since
the mailing was distributed publicly (even though to a limited group),
it's okay to post it to the net.

Now before you go any further, please note that I mean no personal
insult to the poster. It is supposed to be a joke. I have deliberately
deleted the mail originator's id to avoid causing him any agony.

Like I said, this is in jest. Flames to /dev/null.

(Usual Disclaimer Here)

Where the mind is without fear; And the head is held high
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been divided into narrow domestic walls;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way,
in the dreary desert sand of dead habits;
Into that Kingdom of Heaven my Father, let my country awake.
