- Saqib bhai, your attitude is a little hard to stomach. What gave you the
- idea that scp was specifically required to cater to *your* interest ?
- There is no reason for you to get upset if your interest is not to be
- found on scp. You don't pay this newsgroup and it doesn't owe you
- anything. It isn't the government of Pakistan, you know. I have been
- following scp for over 2 1/2 years now, and I do agree it has seen
- better days when the quality of the exchange was more dignified and
- substantive. But I don't think we should get frustrated at that.
- What seems mediocre to you and me may appear high-class to someone
- else. Your frustration may be someone else's constant fountain
- of pleasure. If you don't feel happy with the content of scp, you
- can only blame yourself. Lead by example. Don't expect scp
- subscribers to dish out entertainment tailored to your taste; if
- you want that, write more often yourself and like-minded people
- will be encouraged to write in response.

- Best wishes,
-
- Saad.
