Hi Parin, IIT-LUG,

Please dont do this-- posting messages/invitations like this-- even to
people you dont know personally-- is bad netiquette- and in bad taste.

I am posting this to-list rather than unicast-- because I feel this needs to
be pointed out.

Would you post a random SMS or email to the head of your institution ?
Assuming you had the email IDs of your professors, Would you post random
email messages to them ?
Or would you observe some decorum-- and try to be worthy of his/their
respect ?

Please be more mature-- and when you post messages exercise discretion--
that proves you to be worthy of the respect of other-- possibly older and
more senior professionals who may be a part of your peer group in a
community/group like this LUG.

The reason I spoke up-- picked up a argument even with Shakthi on the list--
was because of a matter of principle-- that nobody has a right to
talk-down-- or randomly reprimand anyone-- no matter how junior. Because at
the time I felt that you were being picked upon.

However, if you act in a immature or irresponsible way-- you are attracting
all the random scoldings and abuses people may choose to heap upon you.

I hope you can take this in a constructive way.

Best Wishes and Regards,

Nalin
ps: as per the invitation-- one can see, that this was sent intentionally to
this community-- rather than a site misusing information from your public
address book.
