namastE!

This may be an impulsive reply but I don't share the pessimistic view
above. While I am not naive enough to think that the members of TELUSA
can "rescue" SCIT singlehandedly, I think that the it is at least worth
the effort! At the same time, I may also be vain enough to think that
cross posting of selected threads from TELUSA (by the posters themselves)
will make a difference in the quality of SCIT.
