Sec 499 of IPC, was discussed way back when we were incorporating Twincling as a "not for profit" organization. Irrespective of who writes to the list, we had then considered 'defamation' and clauses of Sec 499, to be the responsibility of the list/page/group/blog owner ie. Twincling as a legal entity. For those of us, who are unaware of Sec 499 of Indian Penal Code (IPC), please refer to it here. http://www.vakilno1.com/bareacts/IndianPenalCode/S499.htm thanks Saifi.
