Swami did not and does not gcome from tsunami.   I believe it is short for
Swaminathan.  My Indian friend who I work with tells me that Swaminathan it is
one of the most commno names in India.  The way "swami" was being used here was
derisive, degrading and mean spirited.  You detection senssor is out of whack
and you should learn to keep quiet when you do not know what you are talking
about.

You already been warned once -- I suggest that you do not reply to this message
other than to perhaps apologise.
