Re: [HumJanenge] corruption

Dear Mr Shantharam

Thanks for your suggestion

1) Our existing software platform at googlegroups is hitherto FREE and STABLE.

2) The procedure to unsubscribe from any googlegroup is EASY and TRANSPARENT.

3) The procedure to unsubscribe from mailing lists which FORWARD
emails from Humjanenge is equally EASY and TRANSPARENT.

4) The "flood of emails" did not take place through the mailing lists
but resulted from neo-LITERATE people who were madly CC'ing each other
on their Blackberry phones and marking copies to the list for
distribution..

5) The "flood of emails" was due to TOO MUCH UNMODERATED FREE SPEECH.
Regretfully the list moderators have had to place the list in
"moderated" mode. This also results in time lag between messages
being posted and their being distributed.

6) Kindly dont bother yourself with such matters. The group moderators
are technical people well versed in these things and who can cope with
the occasional storm in a teacup..
