I actually counted - in the last 10 days there are 9 posts of yours

Nopes. I checked the BOM LUG archive, we posted only 2 stories to ILUG
BOM -- Ubuntu TV and Microsoft ARM Tablets. This was third. How come
Ubuntu story not relevant to India?
3 stories per month. It's TOO frequent?
My gripe is that you send stuff that are sometimes irrelevant to this
list or the Indian milieu - SOPA& PIPA, while dangerous, are laws
being legislated in the US.
I don't think freedom and open source is region specific. SOPA is all
about foreign sites. Which means Indian sites can be blocked from being
accessed.
We don't live in our cocoons. If its passed there, it will go around the
world and will come to India as well.
Additionally, we should support the freedom of people no matter where
they are.
The articles are perhaps fine with the US
readers of your magazine, but till earlier today, India was an
independent country with its own legislature and judiciary and
democracy and suchlike.
Nopes. The articles are relevant throughout the world as it will set
precedent for other countries to follow as I said above. In open source
world there is nothing region specific. It's not regional news that two
killed in a NJ.
BTW, can you open English Wikipedia?
Now, things like Kapil Sibal (!)& the lawsuit in Delhi against
Facebook/Google etc. sounds more relevant and worthy of discussion to
me.
Discuss what you think is important to you, that doesn't mean other
stuff is not important.
SOPA is not about America. SOPA is about the Internet freedom.
If you think something is not worthy discussion, just don't discuss it!
Simple.
