People who have been subscribed to this list for more than a couple of years
have learnt to grit our teeth and ignore discussions on this topic - which
keeps recurring every few months!

The fears expressed the first time - that the list will soon be flooded with
posts in 14 languages and that the noise will drown out the signal - did not
turn out to be real. In fact, even Tamil posts are few in number. It was
decided earlier that posts in tamil /other lang would be tagged as such
making it easier to configure your filters.

So, why don't we quit this pointless discussion and keep moving!! If it
comes to a point that the vernacular posts so outnumber the english ones
then perhaps we can have a vote and impose some restrictions. Till then,
live and let live. I guess we all are fighting for a free world, right?

regds,
mano
