I agree with many of your points. I am sorely disappointed with the fact that the moderators here seem to have gone on permanent vacation. Also, yes, the members of the mailing list themselves don't seem to police the discussion as rigorously as was the case earlier when people like KG were around. Having said that, your emails don't paint a flattering picture of your ability to hold a discussion online. If you feel that Girish's emails are not helpful, please don't add to our woes by following up with long, pointless sarcasm - not one person is going to be reformed by that, and it adds to the noise already present. Respond with a single line, if need be. Girish - it is sad that you have brought ilugc to this point. Moderators - are any of you checking the emails on this list? Please respond.
