Dear Prem,

I would love to improve the signal to noise ratio on this list.
For this purpose, I have raised objections about Girish's postings, which
are pretty high in noise, IMHO.
Now, you have lumped my objections together with his noise.

If we allow Girish to keep posting his technically inaccurate rants on this
list, then we also have to allow people to correct the inaccuracies, to
prevent misinformation.
There are better forums for Girish to accomplish his worthy aim of
knowledge-sharing. He has already been told this several times.

You choices are:
1. tolerate Girish, and tolerate those who correct him.
2. ask the list moderator to ban Girish, and anybody else you don't like to
hear from.
3. use email filters, and improve the signal to noise ratio for yourself,
and not for the list.

I am here to exchange knowledge about GNU/Linux and FOSS.
Yet this list seems to lack the will to self-govern.

Please let's get administrative issues out of the way, to keep the
discussion technical and interesting.

Cheers,

- Ashwin.
