- You missed the word "usually" in my sentence above. At any rate, I do not
- know if the people behind the formation of SCT could have been influenced
- in some small way by the events in Sri Lanka and the need to provide
- a newsgroup and a captive audience for those who espouse the cause of the
- Tamil Eelam. SCI would clearly not have been suitable for that purpose.

- No, I am looking at the issue from the broadest perspective possible
- and that is as an Indian.
