Another poem!

There was a number of conferences created with a purpose of having

almost any kind of contents.

 

"Free Forum", as the name indicates, was created to be free for almost

anything, including poems by bhaktas. Somehow or other the contents

of this free forum was decided to be regulated. Why the name was not

changed to something more appropriate is beyond me. I used to call

it "unfree forum", but that was more of a sarcasm. BTW,

"free forum" is actually Swedish, and means a place were anyone

can speek freely. Maybe that was the problem. That no one understood

the meaning of the conference name.

 

Second stage was that younger devotees was writing all kind of

frivilous texts, including graphics etc. So I created the conference

"Local jokes expensive", since in those days long distance

telephone calls were expensive, and these joking texts tended to

be very long, and only appropriate for local (direct connected)

users. I then moved all texts I found of this category to that

conference. I think that conference got a name change at

some time. The original name was a joke itself. It could

as well have been named "garbage dump", but out of

finesse that was not the case. Later, the "local" and the

"expensive" parts were removed, and now I think there are

even regulations on the jokes to be posted to that conference.

 

The "Krsna katha" conference, when I created it, could

also originally have been appropriate for poems by devotees.

 

Maybe this shows how the intentions of an original creator

of something gets changed by time. Maybe it also indicates

how possibly the intentions of Srila Prabhupada got changed

through time. The current management thinks everything

is all right, but only by going back to the roots, can the

original reason be unconvered. Then, of course, it is the

matter if we rather would have the new version or the

original version.
