AATHREYA - - MUSINGS

It is nice to belong to as I could come

across friendly well informed people across the globe.

I became acquainted with very nice people from India

to Italy , US to UK , Fizi to France , from Mauritius to

Malaysia , Singapore to Sri Lanka and from Africa to

Australia , which otherwise I could not have ever done.

My experience differed from one Y group to another.

Some groups are entirely Owner - Oriented and I can

only read what owner wants me to read , I have no say

and I could not post any message ; I have nothing to

do with them and I promptly quit them.

Second type of groups are heavily censored and take

such a long time to approve my non controversial posts

and by the time they appear in flesh and blood, I forgot

that I ever posted those messages and I saw no merit

in continuing in these .

Third type of groups rely solely on whims and fancies of

owners with sometimes approval coming promptly and

at other times I was never informed about approval or

no approval even though the natureof my posts is same

in nature as always it was before. I failed to understand

the logic of it and I felt sorry to leave them.

All the above three groups are good groups and I am

awarethat they have every right to do what they do but I

have my own right to not to be a part of them . I quit with

out any rancour and any remorse on either side.

Fourth type of groups require approval which is promptly

given and I am happy to be associated with them even

though sometimes I had some difficult moments. I am

reminded of a bitter quarrel between two French

philosophers when they both told each other " I do not

agree with what you say but I defend your right to say it. "

Fifth type of groups are the most liberal and my posts are

accepted on the spot , pronto.

Over the period I received very friendly constructive

suggestions, ideas,encomiums , criticisms , approvals

and good wishes such as : -

Use captions.

Motivate.

Refrain.

Do not use upper case capital letters.etc etc

I close with remarks that one should have an open mind,

encourage freedom of expression as long as it does not

hurt others , understanding , humility , clear thinking and

readiness to say " You may be right, Thank you , Sorry ,

I am wrong " . Be prepared to forgive though you may not

forget. To err is human , but to repeat the same mistake

is inappropriate. Thanks for understanding.
