In many cases, the thread gets hijacked by meta discussions. This thread itself was meta, albeit intentionally. Now it has become meta-meta :-).

How do we tackle this? regds, mano _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
