- 1] Lets get your picture here.
- You want to read sci because its entertaining, because topics
- related to India are discussed, because you feel you are among
- people who know what it means to be Indian. You read it because there
- are people who are interesting to read who post on the net, because
- you learn new things and see new points of view.
-
- Only sci is nothing of the sort.
- Its full of religious propaganda, its full of bloated egoes clashing
- day in and day out. Its full of culture-chauvinists and fanatics,
- so much so that you cant read more than 5 of a 100 articles posted in a
- day.
-
- So you complain. And hope things will improve.
- But they wont. Because sci has too many idiots running amok.
-
- Having set the stage, let me unveil the idea simple as ity may seem:
-
- I invite a discussion on forming alt.culture.indian.moderated
-
- Just exchange of views, news and interesting stuff.
- No garbage.
- No scavengers.
- No looking for articles.
- No test messages.
- No help in visa messages.
- No pakistan bashing.
- No Hindu, Muslim ... bashing.
-
- Why moderation ?
- Because some people never learn.
-
- What should be allowed and what should be kept out ?
- The answer here is : All that we dislike in sci is to be left out.
-
- To the question why ? , I have a simple answer: because sci has become
- unreadable.
-
- The usenet has great potential.
- Lets use it.
-
- 2] If you support the idea or want to contribute towards a charter
- send mail to paulchem@tigger.cs.colorado.edu.
-
- I am sure there are plenty of people who disagree with me here.
- And some who do agree.
-
- Lets see some discussion.
- And get this show on the road.
-
- Further action pending discussion.
-
- 3] To avoid the problem of having one persons views dominating the
- group we must think of someway of alowing a panel of people who
- will serve as the moderating panel.
