[Reader-list] The Slimes of India's Patna edition reprints, Danish cartoon

[Aarti]

Dear Koen,

If the presence of extremists is your criteria of belonging or not to a 
list, I would suggest you unsubscribe immediately. I am extremist about 
the colour purple. I insist everyone who hates purple be extinguished 
immediately.

Long Live Jamuni!

best
Aarti
