[cr-india] cr-india Digest, Vol 44, Issue 1

Tue Jul 3 12:12:39 PDT 2007

I agree with Dr Sreedher's dismay - if some sense of
community is being fostered through this Forum, then
even if it is not practical for all and sundry who are
in Delhi to attend (and those who can make it as well
from out of town), then there is hardly any time left
for the content of this proposed letter and/or
verbalising to be agreed upon by the general listening
public - at least those of us here in the Forum list.
Can whoever is handling this please put up a
wiki/blogpage for us to comment?
