Barend,
Thank you, I am relieved that someone understood my intent which was to keep the Discuss list “on topic”
Suchith,
I meant no disrespect to you. I applaud your commitment to social justice and inclusion but I don’t think OSGeo Discuss is the right forum for this (that is my opinion, others are welcome to disagree)

> The International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2 October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian independence movement and pioneer of the philosophy and strategy of non-violence. According to United Nations General Assembly resolution A/RES/61/271 <http://undocs.org/A/RES/61/271> of 15 June 2007, which established the commemoration, the International Day is an occasion to "disseminate the message of non-violence, including through education and public awareness". The resolution reaffirms "the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence" and the desire "to secure a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence".
