True. So then, no one other than people who know bengali are going to benefit from them. Same goes for any mono languaged post. >Chennai is not only for Tamil people and ILUGC is for all. Your >thinking is not wrong. Well then, why exclude us from understanding good discussions that may happen by writing in language only that is not understood by us.And not caring to provide an English translation. >That will make ILUGC a truly rainbow list representing the whole of >India.

It will be a rainbow but people will look at selected colors only. > I am able to view 1.

But I am not installing more fonts on my machine. Btw, I cant read 6, 7, 8, 9... So I do not know which language is which. >Why 100's of filters?

Not really.1. Not arguing 2. Its a voice to tell you guys that when you post in "only Tamil" lot of people feel excluded from the dicussion even though we want to learn of interesting things that may have been discussed in the post.. 3. I am not denying right to post in Tamil, but supporting the nice behavior of courtesy to provide a short english summary in the same post, so that we don't feel excluded and it benefits all. 4. If everyone goes makes small small groups inside ilugc for discussing only in their language, then it beats the whole purpose of ILUG - "Indian Linux User Group" - Chennai.Please do not make it "Chennai Linux User Group - India" 5. The more and more single language only threads are discussed, the less the percentage of content from ilugc that will be understood globally is available.This list has been one of the best I have subscribed to, but then if you guys want to make sub groups and do closed discussions; hate to break it to you, but you are not being a nice.
