Ok, here we go :). Sriram has blocked Girish's mail from his inbox.
Not from ilugc. So, you will receive his emails.
But there is one other thing that you need to take care of - Top
posting. When you reply to an email in ilugc form Gmail, the cursor is
positioned at the top of the email text that you are replying to. If
you just start typing and hit reply, the list receives your mail in
what is called a top-posted way.
The right way to respond to emails in ilugc(and most other GNU/Linux
User Groups) is, hit reply, remove the unnecessary parts from the
email you replying to. Retain those parts of the email that you are
quoting, do an inter leaved response. For eg, if an email has 10 lines
and you are replying to lines 1,2,3 and line 8, remove all other
lines. Type your reply relevant to lines 1,2,3 below those lines, and
the reply relevant to line 8 below that. This style of posting is
called inter leaved posting. This wikipedia article[1] gives a good
explanation of various posting styles.

No one expected such harsh response for your post :) So, don't
take it negatively. Thanks
