one case i point here is an example of mindless game they play : Thread was "Fwd: Photo from Jampanicsrao Rao https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Fwd$3A$20Photo$20from$20Jampanicsrao$20Rao%7Csort:date/indiantreepix/rsAzIFB5Cik/hToIllBXAgAJ
and he the sender is a prof of botany Dr. J. Chandrasekhara Rao Department of Botany Andhra Loyola College(Autonomous) VIJAYAWADA - 520 008 r*ead the thread and see the futility of the social media* what a waste and inanity. he just forwarded a photo, and even after i asked where did it come from, ie which of his friends had sent it, no interest in tracking, who sent him the photo, he says he told them the identity....... he a botany professor repeating my guess????? as a identification. no give and take of history etc, . just blatant misuse... then AArti had the same photo sent to her and she told them diagnosis based on what i had guessed based on one history less postcard type photo... what ???? a waste is such social media groups.
