I agree, I should have said that a majority of Vaishnava newsgroup
proponents, or some of the most *vocal* proponents of Vaishnava
newsgroup, and I do not mean official proponets alone I mean proponents
and supporters.

I agree. I have had some constructive e-mail exchanges with you and I
hope, Badri ji that we can continue on this path.

Here I do not agree...because I believe that one ought to apply uniform
standards whereever possible, since the individuals are *almost* the same.

If there are any genuine problems/questions etc. any reader can suggest
how to improve newsgroups, and these suggestions can be incorporated,
without the viciousness of petty politics and personal vendetta shown by
some. E.g., wouldn't you agree that I put forth your proposal regarding
language on SRH (Hindi etc) right sway on the net for consideration?
Surely, with everyone's help and cooperation we can provide a much more
readable and educational newsgroup to the net.world. As it stands,
30-35% articles are about re-org, and rest of the posts, which are far
more useful and educational get drowned out...
