I know, that folks are gonna jump up and say that let us get Santosh the
author of this post banned!

Right, but not so fast!

Look at this Link.

http://hueniverse.com/2010/06/xauth-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-idea/

Six month back there was a lot of heartbreak bcos i called this man an
Idiot. And six months back this man admitted that I called him an idiot!
Yes! I called Eran Hammer Lahav an Idiot!

And look at the SHIT he has been drooling on us all this while. Don't you
see it guys? I am in the great mood to express my views in the "Choisest
vocabulary" short of getting banned here! So I shall refrain and use only
good vocabulary here.

Thank you all so much!
