Since the newsgroup is only around 4 1/2 months old and re-org RFD was
issued after 3 1/2 months of its creation, your experiece is as valid as
everyone elses!!

As with most of the moderated newsgroups, SRH has a single moderation
account (SRV also has a single moderation account, and no back up
provisions). I do see a need in having some back up mechanism. We had
been exploring the following alternatives, before the re-org move started
draining away time from constructive endevours:
a. To find out ways in which an account on a different machine can serve
as a backup account, from where the posting can be made.
b. acquire additional hardware, at the GHEN expense to supplement the
current hardware at the rbhatnagar site (it would be an open question as
to where this hardware would be kept).
Any other constructive suggestions would also be welcom.
> And can Ajay sustain the current response time?
On an average 5 postings a week is the goal that is definitely
sustainable, and justified by the current postings. It is my estimate
that we still have only about 10-15 completely non-RFD related articles
per day (and fewer on weekends). And I see no reason why the current
response time could not be sustained.
Please note that this is consistent with most of the moderated newsgroups.

I have challanged the proponents of re-org to produce a single article
that has been unfairly rejected from posting on *SRH*. As we have all seen
volumes and volumes of messages flowing from the proponents, this single,
simple request has gone un-answered.
Abstract allegations are easily made, I suppose! Please be assured
that I have taken this task of moderation very seriously, and I take a
great pride in the fact that SRH reflects the mutiplicity of opinion that
is present in the Hindu philosophy and community. I cannot assure
postings from all the sides, but I definitely can assure you that no side
will be filtered out, unless it is outside the purview of the charter.
