Rather I have a feeling that some people felt/feel most comfartable when
"pre-dominantely" topics like; samsyaa pooraNalu and avadhaana prakriya
were discussed and feel themselves addressed when certain
topics/personolities are addressed.

Is n't it generalising that most don't subscribe? I personally believe in
that, though I interepreted his meesage little differently.
Since I decided to address both the messages, pl. let me also say that a lot
had happened ever since I innocently (honestly speaking!) posted a message
asking the importance of PC Suri's way of writing Telugu. Some one has said
that he reads this list only for Telugu Sahityam. If its only those afore-
mentioned topics and some thing about peddana, timmana, soorana, nannaya,
tikkana the literature/saahityam then ..... ??? What else was spoken on this
list before? I can off-hand only recall a long thread on punctuation,
on Haikulu, laukika nyaayamulu and a couple of stories by Chandraka and
Palaka as non-saahitya thread.

This is what surprised me the most!! "only 'informative' ones"??? I can give
umpteen no. of examples where there was little to zero information in the
months of November, Decemeber and January. May I ask what was the relevance
of the very recent Basket Ball message here! And even during "lively"
discussions where was N'T it "civil"?
If the most recent thread on Exhortation is in discussion here, I have to
disagree. Both Drs. Kumar and Jampala clearly mentioned their positions (alo
apologized) and that matter is "closed" for me.

Please differentiate between moderated and cross-postings free SCIT. This is
only a general remark here, as presently some people are trying to create
the wrong impression that the proponents are going to dictate terms, which
is not the case.

Sorry! Perhaps I am over sensitive here. This was said more than two times in
two weeks. Why? Or should I leave the group as the culprit who all started
this 6 weeks ago? If I am the responsible and if the civility returns and
only informative matters 'll/can be discussed after my disappearnce, then
I am willing to quit this group.

Should we really vote on this? Can't we respect both the person's opinions?
I have very high regard for both the persons.
COMING BACK TO MY REQUEST FOR A POLL, PLEASE SEND A ONE/TWO LINE
MESSAGE, GIVING YOUR OPINION. EVERYBODY FROM THE GROUP. FROM THE

Sorry, I can't participate in this voting process itself, forget about
abstaining also.
