It is unfortunate that you have been hurt due to recent developments in the list. And my apologies to all for top posting.
However, since this list being a public forum, list administrators have limited control over the individual members behaviour. The controls are in the form of moderation and occasional expulsion from the list.
So far, you have been neither put on moderation nor have been removed from the list proves that the list administrators have found nothing wrong with the posts you have posted so far.
When you participate in any public forum and when you express your ideas and opinions, you are bound to receive bouquets and brickbats.
I understand this. I was concerned because I had heard from the very few list members, whom I have the good fortune of knowing in person, that the general opinion about me had turned negative due to my 'ill-behaviour' on the list. Since I did not understand what my mistakes were, and apprehensive of the fact that the list administrators might be contemplating action against me, I thought I would check with you.
I will suggest that you continue to be on the list, but at the same time exercise due control in replying to various mails. I would suggest that you can completely ignore all treads which is non-technical in nature and stay away from all philosophical, political and ideological discussions and threads.
Your advice is well taken and appreciated.
You are also free to leave the forum if you think that the discussions not suitable for you or the discussions happening on the list is against your ideologies and beliefs
I have high regard for some of the members of linuxers@mm.glug-bom.org and hopefully such a situation would not arise in the future.
I sincerely hope that you will understand the limitations and pitfalls of list administrations.
Rest assured. I do.
Yours truly, Debarshi
