Here are the contents in its original form, with unnecessray details eliminated:

Some background:
- Newsgroup Name: Computer Science PHD.
- Topic : Related to completion of Report.
- Actors(Senders):
1. We have "Hero" who plays main character.
2. "Prof. God" He is fundu algorithm professor.
3. Others, referred as "Stud-1" to "Stud-n"

Abbrevations Used:
ng - News Group
sp - Sujata Palace (Local Restaurent).

Here it begins:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sender: Stud-1

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sender: "Hero"

Working, working and working on the report. It's like Hanumanji's tail, never ending.

Let's all attend your seminar and see how fast "they" finish you off ;)

> btw, why is it called "re"search?


I would as well ask why are we called "scholars"?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sender: "Hero" [In trouble]

>Let's all attend your seminar and see how fast "they" finish you off ;)

:O i guess i'll be a research "squealer" when "they" begin!!

ps: ne1 knows if Prof. God (= one of "they") reads this ng? :O

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sender: Stup-3

I suppose so. Sometime back when he was our facad, he would reply to postings on ng.
And I think he would surely remember your 3hr stunt ;)

OH MY GOD!! lag gayi!!

ps: abey Stud-3, on a serious note, tu fart maar raha hai na? [Our Hero still sees ray of hope.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sender: Prof. God[Shocking Entry]

Yes I do, mainly to find information like this. It tells me more than
what your report does.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sender Hero:

Let me try to explain(Hopefully).

In IIT we have a newsgroup called "cse.phd". Every semester Research scholors(PhD students) have to make a "report" of there work and give a seminar on the same. This guy ("Hero") posted a comments stating "He finished his report in 3 hours"(Now report takes atleast 2-3 weeks). And he didn't have faintest idea that his own guide(Professor) may be subscribed to the newsgroup.

When the bunch of research scholors are still speculating about the same. The professor drops a post that he did read the post.

I hope this would help. If not just forget it.
