I think you didn't get Ajay Shah's comment about "screaming from the roof tops
..". Let me explain. When you weren't reading srh (a few months back, I
think), Vivek Pai conducted an entirely facile campaign, to prove the
"incomptence of the moderator". There was a post which contained some sexual
material (I think) and was rejected by Ajay Shah based on that. After that
numerous posts were made by Vivek Pai haranguing about "rejection of posts".
It's basically a no-win situation for Ajay. If he rejects it there will be
zillions of posts asking why he did it since it has some relevant material. If
he accepts it there will be zillions of posts asking why he did it, again with
trivial arguments. If there weren't innumerable posts in the past by Vivek
Pai, catching trivial points, I wouldn't be so skeptical about his intents.
As it is, his intention seems to be posting zillions of posts like this,
hoping that Ajay cannot keep up with replies, and point out to readers this
fact, and hence win some converts to the RFD.

I request readers to be a bit broad minded and not to bother about some posts
which they might think is off topic, since:
(a) it may very well be of interest to someone else, your concept of what is
relevant to a Hindu ng is not everone else's and give the benefit of doubt
if it contains something Hindu related (spiritual or material consequence)
(b) it's very easy to skip the post, the traffic being very low.
