<Deliberately untrimmed, since other people are being referenced on the thread. Please do not send flames to Ronald, even if you dislike his language, or the views expressed by him.> Moving thread to LIG, and CC'ing Atul Chitnis. I do think this is a bit overbroad in asking for sponsorship. Even mails sent individually to a large group of people /may/ be considered spam. Unsolicited -- Yes Bulk -- Probably Email -- Yes. As to the feelings expressed in the mail, well, those are of the original poster. I can understand why he feels so, but I'm on the other side. /me expects that Indian industry will soon be undercut by cheaper labour from elsewhere, unless quality improves a lot. I for one, will not be sorry about that. Work cheaper, or deliver better quality -- market rules. Replies on LIG/offlist please.
