[Reader-list] shuddhabratas response

[Iram Ghufran]

Dear Emma,

You should have thought of that before you make statements like - "Even 
pimps have more dignity than some Bong men, some Bong men like you!" on 
a public list.

Anyway, I do hope your anxieties regarding list 'moderation' are satisfied.

Best
Iram
