Also Gopal (and other senior members), you too have become selective in the discussions you participate, but still more potent. :) Understandable given your commitments and level of activity on this group :) I have been a member for some 4 years now..I too feel the quality of the discussion is not what it used to be. Does anybody else feel the same? I used to see very insightful and analytical discussions by members who really know the stuff about music and have followed Rahman very closely. (I can't recall the discussions/member's name on the run. I am no Gopal ;) ) On Jan 15, 2008 9:21 PM, Gopal Srinivasan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Interesting that this discussion comes up 4 years after a similar one > and in the interim the essence of the argument has remained unchanged > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arrahmanfans/message/46393 > > > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com <arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com>, > "Prashanth Murali Nottath" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I think it's more owing to lack of time, than any other care.
