List,
After due diligence, List Administrators and Moderators have decided the following changes in List Moderation policy.
All existing and new members will be removed from default moderation and only offending members will be put under moderation after a member violates any list guidelines. The moderator(s) will warn the offenders twice privately followed by a public warning before putting the offending member on moderation.
The above policy change is to improve the participation from all members and remove the delays caused due to default moderation policy. All members, existing and new, are requested to go through the list guidelines once more and comply with the guidelines while posting to the list.
We are also pleased to announce Mehul Ved as our newest moderator for the list.
We also welcome Nicholas Alphonso as our new Wiki Admin. He is a regular contributer to Wikipedia as well.
Looking forward to more action on the list! With regards,

If you need review/change in the list policy or general guidelines you are welcome to propose that on the list. After discussion and appropriate amendments new policy or guideline can be adopted.

these are not acronyms - they are sheer laziness. Specific to India. I identify my countrymen on mailing lists and IRC when I see u ur pls and similar sh$t. None of these are on the list of acronyms like AFAIK, IMHO, ANAL, IIRC ...

this is OT for this thread - we are discussing spelling here, if you want to discuss grammar please start a new thread ;-)
This list has definitely gone to the dogs. Mark my words, you people have nothing better to do but sit around and nitpick posts. Since there is nothing much on the list going on, so why not pick on some arbitrary post?
As a protest I am top posting. I would've used 1337 speak but then I dont have time to waste unlike MOST people here. Do something constructive with your time...
Ok, here I come in your support! Top posting ... :) Maybe, time to reconsider - what was 'rejected' years ago - the idea of splitting this group into 3 groups: 1] Newbies (and general issues support) 2] General (on why gpl v2 is better than v3 and why bsd sucks less than gpl, etc.) 3] Tech
Pls do giv a thot, ppl.
Best wishes, jaju

oh buddy technology is not going to solve the problem here. the problem is PEBKAC. I guess recession hasn't hit India too much. I really hope it hits soon since people here have nothing better to do. Atleast they'll worry about making their ends meet :) Or my second theory is that they're such bad cases that no matter how much recession hits them they'll still waste their time in pursuing endless, nonsensical never ending debates.

There is so much knowledge that you can share constructively with this list through articles, wiki and holding workshops.

This is a GNU/Linux users group of Mumbai. Those who want a separate group can form their own and send out intimation for the same.

Care to explain? Looked pretty much a non sequitur to me in the first read. Do you own the group? Do you control the topics for discussion? Do you define what is GNU/Linux and what's inappropriate for this list? I'd love answers to these questions (note: love, not demand)
Thanks, jaju

Instead of dividing or partitioning the group, form your own group as per the requirement. Why break someone else's creation.
Rony do you know how they classify geographical regions? We see plants, animals, water, lush greenery we call it a nice green pasture. We see sand and arid land we call it a dessert. By the looks of this mailing lists' posts I'd say this is NOT a LUG mailing list.

Please define 'plain English' - that's a new variant and as an Indian, I pretty much like spicy rather than plain stuff.
Maybe, you should hold this stuff under running water and get the plain stuff out of it and consume.
Thanks, jaju

Actually there's no plain english, there's british english, there's the American english (actually even differences supposed to be in west coast and east coast) then there's Australian English and of course how can we forget the Canadian English.
The Indian English is a total indian concotion . I'm leaving out Hinglish and the other variants of course.
So sorry, no plain english I know.

What prevents members from posting tech queries to the all-in-one list?
IMO only the fact that most queries get sorted by the great google.
Or should you post the query. Then solve it yourself and post the details. Then reply to the comatose queries that perchance asks about the same issue.

Do something constructive with your time...

I will top post. I have the freedom to do whatever I want. Who are you to stop me from expressing my freedom? Just as you exercised your freedom to spam this mailing list with a stupid, pointless, dumb, senseless, unproductive post, I'm doing the same, purposefully. Atleast my useless, senseless post has a POINT to it. Yours didn't even have that.
Get a life Mr.Gonsalves. I dont care if you're a big shot. Point is that people like you have nothing better to do but sit around checking their emails and wasting their time. This mailing list doesn't do anything productive as far as I know. Does it? Maybe you should rename it...
And this isn't the first time I've seen such posts. They're a common phenomenon. Replace your posts with cialis and viagra ads, I wont notice any difference.
If people on this list take this criticism constructively and acknowledge theres some truth behind what I'm saying then please do change your ways. Theres still time.

Okay, now that everyone is happy after another flamefest, let's close this discussion here.
Dinesh Joshi, don't deliberately top post while replying to the list. The list guidelines mean something.
