Dear Mr. Moderator,
It is really very sad   to know you are thinking of relinquishing the
post of Moderator. I know you very well since long, when you were my
student in Mumbai, Worli.
Anyway that is not important here. I have seen you taking very stern
steps whenever required as a Moderator. Same thing when a thread
continued beyond limit. You were the one who were able to control such
a large list with your hard work, knowledge and dedicated thinking in
an impartial way.
I have read your mail carefully. I understand your problems. I would
suggest all the concerned list authorities to solve the problem
through healthy discussion so that you will not be forced to take such
a harsh and unpleasant decision for all of us. Please reconsider all
the possible ways in the interest of such an important and useful
group. I hope you will be able to find some way out.
Sincerely,
C. B. Kulkarni

Well, as  is said, what is is permanent is change. So, I have decided to 
step down from the moderator role, which I have been discharging for all 
these years.


It takes me back, when Kiran Kaja asked me to take this role as he got 
preoccupied with a job change then. I happily took it up as it was a good 
platform to get connected with. I did realize the potential of this 
platform and it gave me an opportunity to return back to the society which 
gave me so much.


I held the list in trust and tried to serve it to the best of my ability. 
I do cherish the considerable love I got from all the members. I am also 
thankful to the mentors team who worked quietly in the background to make 
the list more agreeable and cohesive.


Kiran is the list owner and it was agreed, he would ensure the platform is 
up and running. My role was to keep the conversation on the list on an 
acceptable level adhering to the list guidelines which we had worked on.


All was fine, until a year now, there are some issues regarding the 
platform. There are bugs in the pages where I have to approve new members 
etc. For almost a year, there is no addition of members to the list. Those 
who are in digest mode are not getting mails for the last 5 months etc. I

This is not getting me anywhere and I don't want to take blame for lapses 
for which I am not responsible for. If we do encounter server issues 
similar to what we had in the past, there is pretty little I can do as I 
don't have any credentials of this platform.


I gave myself a very long rope, however, I am run out of it. If anyone 
from the list can somehow reach out to him, probably we can get the list 
to order.


To my mind, this list has grown almost to an institution heights. I 
shudder to think it take the InclusivePlanet way.
Being an ardent optimist, I do hope the list shall overcome this rough 
patch.


So what it would mean for the present, I shall not intervene into any 
conversation as I am no more a moderator from now onwards. I shall not be 
taking any maintenance request from any member.


It shall be on an auto pilot mode. My ardent request to all is to still 
follow the list guidelines meticulously, for doing so it shall maintain 
the dignity and realize the purpose for which the list was made in the 
first place.


I express my sincere thanks to all those who were with me and my apologies 
to those to whom I had to take action. I don't hold any grudge or any

had to be done.

It takes me back, when Kiran Kaja asked me to take this role as he got 
preoccupied with a job change then. I happily took it up as it was a good 
platform to get connected with. I did realize the potential of this platform 
and it gave me an opportunity to return back to the society which gave me so 
much.

I held the list in trust and tried to serve it to the best of my ability. I do 
cherish the considerable love I got from all the members. I am also thankful to 
the mentors team who worked quietly in the background to make the list more 
agreeable and cohesive.

Kiran is the list owner and it was agreed, he would ensure the platform is up 
and running. My role was to keep the conversation on the list on an acceptable 
level adhering to the list guidelines which we had worked on.

All was fine, until a year now, there are some issues regarding the platform. 
There are bugs in the pages where I have to approve new members etc. For almost 
a year, there is no addition of members to the list. Those who are in digest 
mode are not getting mails for the last 5 months etc. I having been writing to 
him regarding these issues. It seems, I have lost all contacts with him.

This is not getting me anywhere and I don't want to take blame for lapses for 
which I am not responsible for. If we do encounter server issues similar to 
what we had in the past, there is pretty little I can do as I don't have any 
credentials of this platform.

I gave myself a very long rope, however, I am run out of it. If anyone from the 
list can somehow reach out to him, probably we can get the list to order.

To my mind, this list has grown almost to an institution heights. I shudder to 
think it take the InclusivePlanet way.
Being an ardent optimist, I do hope the list shall overcome this rough patch.

So what it would mean for the present, I shall not intervene into any 
conversation as I am no more a moderator from now onwards. I shall not be 
taking any maintenance request from any member.

It shall be on an auto pilot mode. My ardent request to all is to still follow 
the list guidelines meticulously, for doing so it shall maintain the dignity 
and realize the purpose for which the list was made in the first place.

I express my sincere thanks to all those who were with me and my apologies to 
those to whom I had to take action. I don't hold any grudge or any vendetta in 
doing so. It was an unpleasant task nevertheless a job which had to be done.
