Dear Anupam and all. I am not the moderator but would still like to chime 
in. I understand that Monika is pretty busy and all of must appreciate the 
hard task it takes to run and sustain such a high traffick list. I'd like to 
remind that the list is not moderated in the real sense of the word. Anybody 
is allowed to boycott an agenda or all the agendas if they wish so. The 
option of using the delete  key on your computer or using message filters 
have been often suggested earlier here. So boycott anyone, anything you like 
but writing 3 4 messages just to reitterate do not help anyone.


Thanks
