Well, having subscribed to the group while browsing on the net without any reference, I would certainly not vote in favour of having restrictions on new membership. But the traffic has grown enormously over the years. I think the more important job is to conduct a study on the mails of the group and identify the areas in which the traffic is increasing, and have alternative groups for such areas. For example, we have lot of traffic on AI list for mobile phones which clearly proves how much that group has contributed in restricting the traffic on this group. Similarly, there is a group called. "visually impaired bankers of India" which is a group for visually challenged bankers having more than 250 members with decent traffic. going by this, I think we must form more and more such specialised groups keeping Access India for more generalised discussions. And once we see discussions in a particular area growing beyond a limit, especially when that area is not of interest to all, then alternative group should be formed. Coming back to the idea of conducting a study of the mails to identify such areas, a team can be formed to take up the job. And, being a researcher, I would be more than happy to be part of such a team. Thoughts awaited.
