Narendra has got it right. I have felt a little irritated with this
list for a while, because a lot of the activity on it is related to
political/ personal issues (like the long, long discussion about
OSSCamp, a few weeks ago). This effect is probably the doing of the
users who are merrily trolling away. This is a Linux User Group after
all! People join it to LEARN about using the GNU/Linux operating
system, by posting their own queries and reading the queries of
others. Most of them are not interested in ideological issues about
Avatar (reference to another thread on this list). Please do NOT make
this list a wasteland by cluttering it up with irrelevant issues. I
know that the free software ideology is very important (Go Stallman!),
but please don't let ideological issues scare away the newcomers who
come here seeking knowledge of the purely geeky kind.

In good faith,
Mihir.
