[Reader-list] Greetings for May Day

[TaraPrakash]

Nicely chosen.  A bit too generously perhaps, to dignify an undeserving mail

I was also expecting a mail (ideally not from a male) deconstructing 
Dhatri's or whoever's suggestion that a wife should act like a prostitute in 
bed.
Ask for money after the act?
