Hi there **xash** , a big congrats to you dude. To date I`ve just seen 3 active Indians in here.\*\* xash and gauda \*\* being the other 2. So say what guys,isnt it an amazing strike rate? 3 Indians- 1 Mod! BTW when do I get a shot at being a Mod? I am from Bombay too and know a fair bit about puters as well. ---

Thank you 🙂 And that’s **gouda** , not **gauda**. I’ve known **gouda** since I was in the 4th standard. There is, I believe, one more from Bombay called **Jukeball**. So, 1 in 4… but that’s still a neat strike rate. Here’s more Indian dopers: [Any resident Indian (from India) Dopers here?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?&threadid=154181) ---

Gouda 'nough for me. BTW, I’m reall happy to find I’m not the only longtime poster who was unfamiliar with xash before his elevation. Sorry about that, dude. I just hang out more in the lower-class neighborhoods than GQ. ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by xash_ > I pronounce it ex-ash. With a lower case x. Ever since I read this a few days ago in this thread, I’ve tried to mentally pronounce it ex-ash. I’ve really tried. I give up. From the first time I saw your name it was “sash”. I’m too much of an old dog to change my ways. Forgive me, but this humble doper will continue to hear “sash” in my brain everytime I see your username. ---

Hey, **xash** , did you see that you’re [now world-famous?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030725.html) Of course, you do have to share the recognition with Clogboy, but pretty good for your first week. ---
