Advaitin List Progress Chart ============================ Year 1998 (31 August) 20 Members Year 1999 (31 August) 95 Members Year 2000 (31 August) 205 Members Year 2001 (31 August) 455 Members Year 2002 (31 August) 555 Members ImportantNote: During early March, we had 625 members and the drops in number of members was mostly due to email address verification by . Many business organizations have fire-wall protection which prevents mails coming from mailing lists operated through . When the mail gets rejected several times, mailing list server automatically removes those addresses from the subscription. This has resulted in a loss of membership even though those members have interest in keeping their membership. Members who want to remain as members should register their membership using one of the free internet mail services such as and others to receive their mails. One of the nicest facility in the mailing list group is the "NOMAIL" option by which members can opt to see the messages in the Internet instead of filling up their limited mailbox capacity.

Now we have 555 memebrs - But looking at the memebrship versus the actual number of posters the percentage is very small. I realize that many of the members are silent members and would like to remain so. But sometimes we takes silence granted. Mounam at least is ardha angeekaaram - but there is that ohter half. While their continued memebrship itself a silent feed back - I am wondering a more vocal feed back from the members in terms of the quality of the discussions and quality of the posts that one finds in adviatin list. The purpose of the list as it outlined is clearly a discussion of adviata as enounciated by Shankara, we have tolelrated to a large degree other posts as well. It was felt that those that do not attract main theme of the list serve will slowly disappear due to lack of interest. There has been very minimal moderation of the posts - only those that were monitered not based on the message but the tone of the message. On behalf of all the moderators I would like encourage eveyone of the silent group least to express your opinion of how the list serve is serving and where improvements can be done. Shree Ram Chandran recognized in the very beginning itself that this electronic means is a powerful tool to have joint sat sangh and keep our mind in the pursuit by mutual discussions. Let us focus on these discussions and learn from each other. Hari OM! Sadananda ===== What you have is His gift to you and what you do with what you have is your gift to Him - Swami Chinmayananda.
