Dear all, I had only expressed some of my concerns and requested for some brainstorming on this issue. There was no need of such strong reactions.
Dear Avichal, Akhilesh, Bijoy and others, many thanks for your respect and support. But I request you not to respond to such personal comments. Please try to restrain yourself from allowing someone to take the debate in unwanted direction. I guess I am among the oldest members of AccessIndia and in the last 10odd years I have encouraged dozens and dozens of visually impaired persons to join the list. I have seen the growth of the list and the enormous benefits it has brought to its members. Even though the traffic has grown significantly I have tried to read all the mails on a daily basis. This however becomes difficult when due to some reason I am not able to check mails for a few days. The pile of unread AI mails becomes so huge that even going through the subject line becomes a very big task. It is perhaps due to this that many of my friends who could have benifitted from the list and contributed significantly dropped out of the list. Unfortunately many of them are the ones who should have joined but being non-techky they are not able to handle the traffic. AI has the potential of getting 5000 and even 50 thousand members one day considering the 15 million plus population of visually impaired in India. I would dearly like to remain a member even on that day but I am bit worried as to how many mails I will be able to read. I guess I have the right to get worried and do some thinking about this at least. But it is perfectly fine if no change is made to the list setup. I will remain a member and try to contribute. After all our beloved list is the premier communication channel for VI community here. I guess many of us have given our thoughts to the moderator already and he may close this thread. >From my side I will not add to this thread any more. With regards, Prashant www.prashant.myehome.in -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of ss sarfudeen Sent: 25 April 2013 19:50 To: accessindia Subject: [AI] Time to limit AI membership and verify identities of the members? Dear Moderator and others, I wonder if this is a public forum ment which is for sharing and receiving information pertaining to any aspect of the life of a the VI sector in the country. As one member rightly pointed out earlier, the Moderator already has too many responsibilities in managing the emails on this list. In my view, the existing guidelines of the list are sufficient to regulate the different messages that are posted on the list and the codes of decorum for members to be observed while commenting or replying any message. @Prashant Sir, I respect your views. But at the same time, it is difficult to varify membership details. Nevertheless, members should understand and restrict their membership to only one genuine email id. @Rajesh, please do not try to be very harsh in expressing your views/suggestions. You need to understand that Accessindia is not running a poll to vote and appoint a panel for the selection of the members. Nor is a selection process to scrutinize and verify the biodata of each member and decide who needs to be subscribed for a membership. We are all matured enough to conduct ourselves appropriately on this list. Should any violation of the guidelines of the list in any manner takes place, the Moderator could intervene by issuing a warning or taking appropriate action against the concerned person. Hope the Moderator would close traffic on this thread soon.
