He does not respond to well meaning feedback pointing out errors in his posts, or requests to keep unrelated non-technical content out of his emails. His posts are a mess of misinformation with a few hidden nuggets of truth. Trying to correct him is like banging one's head against the wall. I feel they do more harm than good, but that's just my opinion. This is a discussion forum where people should have a meaningful dialogue and learn from each other. If he wishes to deliver a monologue to newbies he should start a blog and build a following there. I hope you remember enough of me to feel that I agree with your > judgement but understand your anguish Sir, Yes I do. Presence of old timers such as yourself is one of the reason I continue to keep checking ilugc. I am no longer an active participant in the ilugc meetings and even the list. But here we have one of the last surviving linux mailing lists in the country with an active and thriving membership. It saddens me very much to see the noise overtake the signal on the list in this manner. -Karra _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
