Anotyher untruthful claim based on untruthful and perhaps intentionally skewed
statistics, compiled during the first 2-3 months of the operation of
soc.religion.hindu.
As most of the netters who are regular readers of this newsgroup who do not
have petty political vendetta well know, we did have some delays due to
major hardware upgrade, and manual re-direction of alt.hindu articles.
Since December, we have taken several steps to address this problem,
including having two back-up accounts (total 3 posting accounts). I would
like to point out that SRV has no publicly known moderation accounts.
Our posting frequency is 4-6 times a week, consistent with newsgroups
with similar traffic patterns, of course this moderator cannot do much if
the articles show up on his site at Netcom, but not elsewhere (due to
Netcom posting problems) and assume that the articles have indeed propagated
through the USENET system. And even then we multiply posted the articles
from 2 sites for over a month...
No truly honest observer of this newsgroup will bring the accusation of
delay in moderation since December, when the things finally settled after
the creation of the newsgroup.
Additionally, I do have a time-stamped original e-mail from December to
now, and posting dates, for any honest observer to verify.
But I believe that those interested in personal vendetta and petty
politics would care less about these...
