[Reader-list] Re: [bytesforall_readers] The India e-gov and visionindia have been banned by GOI.

[Satish Jha]

Despite differences with the operations of India-egov, I do not think
we can support any move that bans a group-- even though its moderator
had banned several members without any reason, did not listen to any
voice of reason, a group of a dozen members advised him to be
democratic and he did not listen to them, umashankar a senior officer
of Tamilnadu cadre was requested to advise him and he did not listen
to him.

Still banning of a group for whatever reason is not acceptable. What
are the next steps? First let the moderator accept all the
recommendations for a democratic group moderation and then escalate
the matter to a level where democratic norms can be respected and
restored.

Dear Friends,

They have managed to get Yahoo to close the group. As Alfred E. Neuman
would say - What, me worry!

Depressed,

Sunil

Friends,

We have been having this problem of mailing lists being banned by GOI.
Is it possible to migrate to some other service where we will not be prevented.
How is topica.com? Any other service providers who will not require us
to create an other email id.
Or can some one run a list from his/her server, with watered down
features  but high availability?
Any suggestions?
Also, the new list needs to be unmoderated. 
Please pass on this message to others, who you know of, either on these
lists or who may be interested in participating/sharing thoughts or
helping technically.

Regards.

The best way to judge an individual is by observing 
how he treats people who can do him absolutely no good.
Thanks,
