+1, for ashik and hiran,

That poor man is trying to write against the communist party.. And as
the party says about Free Software, that too went wrong;-) . He actually dont
deserve this much attention. But, Only if it gets a chorus that we need
to reply publicly. Otherwise we would be giving them an undeserved publicity.
On the otherside, its good and instinctual(;-)) to call the editor of the
paper to tell him, how pity a figure the paper cuts by itself!, assuming
that those are in a position of just being ignorant and would like to learn
if we provide the facts!
