I don't want to be a nag, and I realize that this list was intended

to be more "freewheeling" and populist than the original INDOLOGY,

but does this type of message *really* belong on an "Academic List

for the discussion of classical India. . .Designed as a forum for

discussions between working scholars and others with a serious

interest in the field of classical Indian studies." I fail to see

how this information (though interesting in its own right) is related

to "classical Indian studies" in any meaningful way.

 

A public list does not necessarily mean a "random" list. May I

suggest that those who are interested in this list continuing to be a

valuable resource (and not being abandoned en masse by Indological

scholars) should give equal care to their postings here as they did

on the previous INDOLOGY list.

 

With best regards,

 

C.K.W.
