Re: Excellent point:can we now have the contingencies:

["Ratan Singh" <rsingh@jp1.vsnl.net.in>]

Tall order Sanjeev. Let me get the mood. Boy, am I really capable of 
serving the order ? I am afraid not. I am not a social psychologist, nor 
an experimental-social psychologist. I cannot modify groups, but I do 
modify individual through group. I am a practising clinical psychologist 
with specialization in Behavior Modification. I don't think I can do 
social engineering. Sorry. Ratan.
