I can't take the credit, another forum leader caught him out.

Secret camera's everywhere.

Could be a similar situation to this story.

Eh? What on Earth are you talking about?

Agni, I was really just trying to be funny, in a serious way.

I think Rob was refering to a post that agni has since deleted.

Rob_The_Pom · May 6th, 2005, 22:01

You are quite right Steven I was.

I still don't get how folks figure out that she is not an American female.

Anybody new to this site would read the OP(I guess it mean Opening Post) and guess all Indian lovers would support it, but surprise...

Rob_The_Pom · May 6th, 2005, 22:20

OPs first language is definately not English.
They describe me as an 'offcourse essentric' - which I loved and have adopted as my new title.
Also, the big cheese revealed that the OPs IP address is in Delhi.

agni5454 · May 6th, 2005, 22:24

OP = Opening Poster.
OPs should have been OP's.... My mistalk, sorry.

Merchant · May 6th, 2005, 22:29

I thought he/she (lovelyindia, the OP, now barred from IM) just sounded like a young person of the instant-message/email generation (iGeneration? eGeneration?). We're the old fuddyduddies who insist in capital letters, full stops, and proper punctuation.

Gotten an email or an SMS from a teenager lately? It's a strange code . . .

kaushiks · May 6th, 2005, 22:33

Still, Some explanation is in order here. It looked perfectly alright. May be a high school educated American is what I would have thought.
Just from her post and with no knowledge of IP address, how the dunce did Anonymous and Docgirl figure out she is not american?.
Enlighten please.

The thing is, no one has demeaned India in any of the posts. Just stated the facts. If you take a look from a PoV from where India has not yet reached the meaning becomes clearer. (LP doesnt sound totally offbase to most travellers.)
There might be a case or two where comment is 'side taking' but thats just someone with a chip on his shoulder or wants Luxembourg luxury but can only pay Indian travel prices.
