Hi Umesh, Maybe, I am from the old school, but on this score I do agree with Chandan da. I really do not want to sound as if we are ganging-up on you, but on the contrary, I wanted to write to several times before, but just refrained at the last minute ( more so as not to hurt your sentiments).
While Assam net is free of shackles of what topics one should write on on, there a a few that I think as a society, most Assamese are uncomfortable with. C' da has listed a few. Though its a free press, I would like to think, we as responsible adults, know where and what limits we can or cannot cross. I think, at times you do cross that line. I know you will take this in the right spirit. --Ram da On 8/10/05, Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Umesh: > > > The Assam Netters have been very accommodating to you, considering you are a > gate-crasher with an agenda.
