Dear Friend,
You are the second person in this group to call me Ven. Mahipaliha. It
amused me at first, but it is becoming a bit embarassing, because I am
not a monk and also I do not believe in veneration. Moreover
mahipaliha is only my Yahoo username, being an abbreviation of my real-
life name. It's OK calling me mahipaliha,but let's drop the venerable
part. Thanks and best wishes.
