Now that I read this and the second post by
Rakakrishna garu, I don't wish to participate in this poll. I don't wish
to be the judge of the appropriateness of either Sri Vadaparthy's post or
Sri Chowdary's response. To me they both were expressing their thoughts
very sincerely and I find nothing objectionable in their posts whether I
agree with their ideas or not.
