Well, Simuzosha, I've read a lot of nonsense and also said and written a lot myself in my lifetime. But your half hearted fight for the "poor" International Students with silly requests is just that - absolutely ridiculous. Your answering to this post nearly three months after the request was made, how helpful is that? Being an International student myself, all I can say is that I completely agree with everything BHC and others have told you in the other thread.
If some people are too lazy for a simple Google search, then they really should not think about doing a PhD.
