How he does it?! (Our group is private or public?!)

May 26, 2009

Dear All, Today I was searching the web, and by chance I reached a blog that posts our own group contents! Ours is a private site which means that no one should be above to get a rss or atom feed and display our group contents in their site in a dynamic manner. Copy pasting the group post contents as an article is another matter. But in the following site I have observed that the Daily digest of our group is getting posted! He has made our private group, a public one in his blog! I wonder how they do it! Anyway the following is the URL of that site: http://canada-money.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html The owner of this blog spot is some "Hemanth Srinivas,Canada". Curious about this guy, I did some search on him and found the following info. 1) He is a member in our with the id "

babu_hemanth" and his email id is "hemanthks(at)gmail.com". 2) He joined our site "Mar 19, 2009" and set the email delivery option to "Daily digest". (It is the same that he posts in his blog!) 3) He usually gives his short name as "Hemu" and is a male of 29 years of age and is from Vancouver, BC, Caneda as per his profile. 4) Do a google search with the words "Hemanth Srinivas Vancouver, BC" in google and you will get his linkedin profile and other details. Anyway the total info is interesting. I request Hemant to clarify the issue, and tell us why he does it? If he is this much interested in astrology and want to share our astrological knowledge with the world, then why he is not participating in the discussions? If he is just interested in popularising his blog, is he not violating the privacy policies of by posting a private group's content daily in a public blog? Hope he will clarify. Love and regards,Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadhji,

Since we are not actually aware of the reasons for his doing so, we can

just contemplate -

1) Maybe he is innocent.

2) Maybe he is not.

3) Maybe he is just a astrology lover.

4) Maybe he is using this just for commercial gains.

5) Maybe he is wanting to read that in his lesiure.

6) Maybe he wants his contacts to read the same in their leisure without

having to do the formality of opening the Group everytime.

Whatever it is, he is giving the Group free publicity. He cannot put us

to any loss anyway by putting the Group archives there on board.

Lets wait for him to reply.

In the meanwhile you can also prepare a Legal statutory note which can

be put on the HomePage, which will save me the trouble too, as I too

will copy the same and put in JG in case somebody decides to do the same

..

best wishes,

Bhaskar.

Dear Sreenadh ji,This is rather funny, difficult to see what he trying to achieve by doing this. And to top it all, he puts all that underMONEY MATTERSTips and suggestions as to how to make that extra income!

I would rather believe that he's an innocent fan of AIA. In any case, if you click on Ancient Indian Astrology, it brings us to our group home page. But I must complement you Sreenadh ji, on your Archaeological Instinct!
