    Thank u very much for re-vitalizing the copying option on this site. I must say, with ur altruistic and perfectionist mannerisms, the country has lost out on a great administrator!

    But as they say, there are no accidents, just a purpose we dont know yet – may be this is ur purpose: to herald the biggest online revolution for this exam which has hitherto been untouched by internet…..

    Hats off n keep going….!

    Thanks:)
