[Fwd: Bhakti List]

Mani,

 

I recently read your post about inactivity in bhakti list. I have not

d to any other lists that you created recently. So, I don't know

if those lists are active. I believe you created too many lists then and

that was one of the reasons this list is not active.

 

I am not a regular poster but I check bhakti list postings regularly.

Dear Sri Mani,

 

I would like to echo on the thoughts provided by the member as below.

In fact I still remember the date July 3rd 1998 when I joined this

list and from there I have learnt a lot. I have learned many useful

things, seen many arguments and indulged in them myself too, and the

feelings that I got was diverse. However, the knowledge that I earned

was great.

 

But while, restructuring the list, when you created 3 sub lists, the

number of the messages in the Bhakti list got reduced. Also as one

member aptly stated, the revised form of Bhakti list is too much (in

the sense that it makes it possible for only the highly knowledgeable

persons to write in it). So the common man like me who have something

to say cannot say anything (may be some silly arguments too!!). This

can be viewed from the groups homepage wherein, there is very steep

downfall of the messages after the restructuring was announced by

you. Nevertheless, if you combine the number of postings in each

group (i.e, bhakti, sv-general, sv-ritual and sv-poetry), then it is

the original average message per month.

 

This itself proves that there is no low w.r.t to the activities in

the Bhakti list. However, you have to visualize the Bhakti list as

the main one with the other 3 as the sub levels. But if you see

Bhakti list as a separate list, then yes, certainly the activity has

come down and the reason for this is as stated above.

 

I am not so knowledgeable person to advise you on how to change this

settings. You know it better yourself. So please do the needful as

you feel.

 

BUT THE STANDING POINT IS THAT, THERE CAN BE NO LULL IN THE BHAKTI

LIST AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO EVEN THINK ABOUT CLOSING IT DOWN.
