Tahir,
Think a good compilation of links towards keeping them well informed and also to give subscribers countrywide clarity on whats the reality of the situation is....is warranted.
NC is doing a great job no doubt. A neutral body like them working on such an article is always a good idea.

Damn! I haven't read this article but from the excerpt it is clear that either the author hasn't done any research whatsoever into the topic or he hasn't understood the issue at all. Both these possibilities make it inappropriate for him to comment on the issue. For members on the list, these links may help:

Since Jasubhai publications are widely read by students as well as professionals, the impact of such careless comments could be pretty significant.
