Remember the hulla ballo that was created when someone
suggested using meebo? :O
That someone was me. If you really want it, then we can have a nice
debate on this, and I can clearly explain to you why it was at all
needed.
Why blame meebo? Because its the new kid on the block, and not as big
as Yahoo! MSN, or Google? How do you know that the big names are not
giving out your ID to some unwanted place?
And yes Kenneth, I think you are going way over board. Who are you to
decide to boot the chap? Sure he has made a mistake. But then I don't
think that has been repeated by him. Who are you to single handedly
force the point that people need to be booted without any warning? I
mean I thought this mailing list's code of conduct was drafted by some
knowledgeable person in a reasonably democratic way. Ok Hyderabad does
it, Chennai does, so what? So what man? You are taking this issue to
such an extent as to start another deluge of OT posts.
Tell me onething everybody. What happens if your mail account gets
infected by viruses of the sort that keep sending mails to all the
addresses in our address book. Its theoretically all right to talk
about how one should not give around his ID, blah, blah.... But in
such a case you are realy the victim and not the transgressor.
This one spam is NOTHING compared to the deluge of OT threads, which
got the whole list a very bad name. (Read ilug-cal archives.) Dont
make this fellow a scapegoat.

Debarshi
