I kinda tend to agree with C'da and Sushanta on this. First off, for many of us who have been on this forum for a long time, Bhuban da needs no introduction.
For a while now, Assam net seems to have little life. There was a time, when there lively, & often heated discussions. It was fun, and educational at times. That was also the time when we all observed some sort of unwritten code of conduct. Most of us observed it. But, as it happens with open forums, a while back, a really obnoxious upstart started taking part in discussions, and that kind of made me decide that the Assam net was fast losing it's stature (I thought it had), and really did not want to exchange 'greetings' with that upstart. Well, that was the proverbial straw for me. Others, obviously had more legitimate reasons for staying away :) JS, Manoj, and others, Bhuban da has actually been keeping this net alive, almost alone, if you will. At this juncture, I am not even thinking whether posts need pass the mustard. Assam net is basically on life support, and anyone posting is actually helping it. So, if you guys and others make this net active & lively again, we could maybe revisit other issues. Thanks, and hope all of you are doing well.....it's been a long time since we met at this forum.
