You somehow always drift from the real thing. We were discussing net enterprises in Pakistan. I had asked you "You want to run a company with 600 reporters and "staff" by next week?"

Very simple recipe! But the problem is that you are not keen on learning about other societies and cultures, but just in asserting your own points on us. No wonder you keep running in circles or, perhaps, keep sppinning circles around us.

Whatever.

Bruce, the largest Urdu newspaper in the world, Jang, has own bureaus and staff almost all across the world. It is published from four cities in Pakistan + London + New York. Now run by the Founder's son, Shakeel, a fine artistic natured chap. They also publish Pakistan's largest English daily, The News, and a whole range of other periodicals.

The Nation of the Nawa i Waqt group is the one that counts with it's opinion. (just accidentally, the owner was a year junior to me at school)

IT and dotcom outfits are more of PR dressings for impressing overseas customers to mostly silly advantages. If I had heard of these people, I would have been pleased to fill you in on them. In these countries, it's not terribly difficult to show a few persons on your prospectus. That's what I meant by do you need 600 by the weekend!!

Not saying they are not legit, but exxageration is a bit of an art in that part of the world. Even ifthey had been there since 2000 they should have become nationally known by now.

Let's accept that they just exist on the net - no actual contact address!!
