Dear Friends
I have been travelling a lot recently and I cant cope up with the traffic on
this list. I am not able to reply to many mails that are specifically addressed
to me through this list. Of course this is my problem. I have also found that
this is a problem a lot of us have to face. Even an important matter from
Rajesh gets ignored because of the same problem.
So it is not my problem alone it is the group's problem and we better all work
to solve it or we will have a very serious problem of the list becoming
reduntant.
it is disgusting the way we are going on this list. There are 3 issues today
that have upset me.
1. Introduction. We all know the rules. The new member must introduce
himself/herself. We love having new members and we welcome them all. Do we all
have to write individual emails to the group to welcome them-no we dont!. There
were atleast 6 mails this morning welcoming Ayesha. Why could each of you not
write directly to her and leave us out? How many times do you need to be
reminded.
2. Congratulations to the Moderator. Yes we are proud of Harish and we are
happy that Rajesh informed us but do we have to congratulate Harish on the
list? Are we going to score brownie points with him that we dont mind troubling
others? Please learn to congratulate him and others on their success off the
list and give us a break.
3. Rudeness I have read the entire exchange on E51 and it is not nice. Cut out
the acrimony It does not help the list and people like me who seriously read
it.
there are several small issues like I read a mail I think 2 days ago requesting
for some infromation which was signed of with the words" Reply will be
rewarded". Please understand that those who reply to a query are doing you a
favour you cannot demand an answer nor can you force others to answer you. You
are not the king of some ..... who is going to reward the person who replies on
time or who replies properly. This list and others like it work on goodwill.
Please do not abuse it.
I have spoken to several of youll on these issues and you have informed me that
you read selectively and delete a lot of mails and in the process you sometimes
miss mail and dont help others. This selective deletion is done based on the
name of the sender or because of topic or due to your time constraints or
because you know that the sender is going to send an email with wrong grammer
and spellings and it is very difficult to read with a screen reader however you
all agree if there was less junk mail you would read more and probably
contribute more.
Leave it to the moderator to handle the basic issues and do what you think is
right. Treat this list as a resource and not as your dustbin.
If you agree or disagree with me then please do so off the list this mail is of
no consequence to others and it wont add to anyone's knowledge.
Sorry for venting my thoughts .
