SRI RANGA SRI VOL.06 / ISSUE # 11 dated 02/19/05

=============================================================

EDITORIAL:

1. SRS SATSANGAM SITE.

 

As you know, the membership of " Sri Ranga Sri " has risen to nearly 4500 with

about 3000 Active members and about 1500 members whose mails have bounced

temporarily due to various reasons, including insufficient capacity of their

mail boxes.

 

On an average, we receive daily about 400 mails most of them for moderation

and approval. By the time we complete reading the last line of just one

mail, and go back to the " Inbox " , we find at least 30 to 40 more such mails

waiting to be viewed for moderation. We are hard put to scan all

the mails to determine the suitability of featuring in " Sri Ranga Sri "

journal.

 

In the melee, some important mails go without approval and some undesirable

postings sneak past the moderator, in spite of efforts to filter the same.

 

Queries and doubts raised by some members of " Sri Ranga Sri " were being

approved to encourage reader participation andfor information of general

membership and reply by scholars well versed in the specific topics, and NOT

for triggering a discussion, much less, a debate on the subject.

 

Unfortunately, we are stormed by a flood of responses most of them personal

opinions and speculation without any appropriate authority (PramaaNam) to

back them.

 

This is inspite of clear Guidelines included in the " Files " Section of " Sri

Ranga Sri "

 

We wish to reiterate that " Sri Ranga Sri " is a Journal and NOT a forum for

discussions.

 

It is for this reason that we created a special group called

" SRS_Satsangam "

 

All queries and doubts and responses thereto may be addressed to this site

only and NOT to the Journal.

 

The Guidelines for the Journal referred to above will apply mutatis mutandis

to this site as well. A minimal monitoring will be made to keep up the

quality of postings. This means that postings to this site also will require

prior approval by the Moderator.

 

 

But, as only members can post to this site, those who wish to avail of the

facility should,in the first place, send an email to

" sRS_Satsangam- "

and get their membership approved.
