I suggest that 'we' put any erring list members on moderation queue. Infact I have assigned an extremely low score for this particular author in my newsreader. IMHO most of the questions posed by this author belong to the category of Home Work questions. Some on the list have reacted to Raj's outbursts. Here is what they should read. Quoting from the http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html <Quote> Community standards do not maintain themselves: They're maintained by people actively applying them, visibly, in public. Don't whine that all criticism should have been conveyed via private mail: That's not how it works. Nor is it useful to insist you've been personally insulted when someone comments that one of your claims was wrong, or that his views differ. Those are loser attitudes. There have been hacker forums where, out of some misguided sense of hyper-courtesy, participants are banned from posting any fault-finding with another's posts, and told ?Don't say anything if you're unwilling to help the user.? The resulting departure of clueful participants to elsewhere causes them to descend into meaningless babble and become useless as technical forums. </Quote> -Tarun -- The universe is an island, surrounded by whatever it is that surrounds universes. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
