I can "bear" North Indian food for much more than two days. I eat it
regularly but you probably have enough ammo anyway.

If the best you can do is to twist my dietary preferences into a North
vs. South style debate (which this list has been free of thankfully till
now), there's not much more to say.

I don't *expect* anything. We *had* ample participation from Delhi and
other places in the north the first and second years. I don't have any
issues conducting the event in Delhi either. If there's a strong
community there and someone can lead it, I'm all for it. 

Look. It's one thing to do contribute something and then have
disagreements. It's quite something else to pop up and graft your own
biases onto what I say and then twist it into some kind of north
vs. south debate.

If you're willing to give me the benefit of the doubt, then you have my
word that I didn't intend an offense. If you're not, well, there's
nothing more to be said.
