ouch .. this msg is timestamped at 7.44 am .. and mine is timestamped at 7.55 am ..
so this response from anindya is not AFTER my warning .. i have met anindya several times .. and he is as devout as any other ilug-cal member about things linuxy or ilugy since this has happened and cannot be erased from history .. this issue is now an ISSUE anindya is an equal among equals like me or any other .. and we may now lose him too .. the vast majority will silently wait for one more sacrifice on the altar of this list caused by the harshness that is metted out without the sanction of the majority's wishes .. what SHOULD prevail ? harshness/sternness/threats-of-expulsion or the wishes of the majority of the members if this list is a group of members wanting to be 'ruled' without 'freedom' .. i guess it should be openly declared so that we all know too ! i find that what is [OT] is always a subjective decision by ONE with almost disastrous exit of SOME with sadness and a heavy heart .. ..pk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linux Lover" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 7:44 AM Subject: Re: [ADMIN-WARNING] Re: [ilug-cal] An Important Warning Regarding Virus for Yahoo , Hotmail and Gmail User > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I have received the message from a source and send it to others with a > view to aware our community regarding the message.
