Rony, we need to understand that we are not a general _technology_
mailing list. While some [OT] posts are okay once in a while, but its
irritating when all the mails recieved from this list bear an [OT] tag.
And then again, there is a thin line that divides offtopic mails and
those which are communal in nature. The thread about blocking of blogs
by indian government may be classified as okay since it talks about
freedom of expression.
But, that's just what i think. I'd like to hear what other list
members think of it.
