Sirji
I respect every member of the group so much that I can't tolerate the
complaints. Everyone is doing their job so well. All are so dedicated to the
tasks they have taken by their wish.
Every person has his/her specialty and I respect it. When I say I delete the
forwarded mails by you or Gargji, is because I will not be of any help there.
But I respect the joy of getting the unidentified sps identified.
Sirji I was planning to write a thanks letter to group. I could not. But I am
happy to tell that Dr has allowed me to join my duties. Of course I do have to
take lot of precautions. I have to wear a special socks with supporting rods to
support my ankle,walk slow, climb stair very carefully, but I am back on my
feet. I joined college on 24th August and could not get a single minute to
express my feelings.
But I will like to confess every member of eflora has helped me to keep myself
cool, joyful, happy, tolerent, etc etc. I enjoyed the Himalayan flora, Panipat
flora, name of plants, Valmiki and all other threads. It made me forget my
pain. It was a remedy on my home asylum.
I wish someday I will be able to meet everyone of you. Thanks a lot for keeping
me as fresh as I was.

Madhuri ji
You have said it all. There are two ways of using delete buttons. mark all
mails that you want to delete and press delete button. Otherwise click
delete all, unmark few that you want to retain, and press delete button.
Either way it takes few seconds. Only Aarti ji, Alok ji, Prashant ji, Muthu
ji, Ritesh ji, and others whose mails are resurfaced regularly know the
importance of resurfacing. You would be surprised to know that most of good
ideas come from persons who are supposed to be non-experts. I remember a
plant resurfaced several times with no conclusion, till Aarti ji came up
with identification which we could have never imagined. Similarly I have
seen the growth of Alok ji in recent months. He is a real asset to the group
sending us photographs from Western Himalayas.
I love this group for heterogeneity. I am more happy when an
identification comes from Yazdy ji, Aarti ji, Alok ji, Dinesh ji (although
he is more expert than many of us), Tabish ji, Garg ji,etc. I love that,
many of us love that, and let us allow it to remain like this. We are all
one big family and let us not make distinction between experts and ordinary
members time and again.
As Garg ji has been writing regularly. There is lot of work on our
website and experts can definitely help in process of building eFlora of
India in our website.
