Is some > one occupying "others" spaces too? Good Anil. I feel this is also a good point for discussion. I believe Web is defined by information producers and not by consumers. That is the main reason for my target at Contributers. For me Mailing list is the start transition from information/Knowledge consumer to producer. Contributer is also a vague term. All members of of this list will become a contributer with a non-spam first post. So it is not limiting people. But focus is on contributer. > > I think everyone has a role to play and let people play that as long as > the group is ok with it and people must be free to subscribe, > unsubscribe, resubscribe according to what they wish as this forum is > not evangelise any one Mashup & mangle. :)) without spaming!!
