<p>I did answer Sergio privately already, but I also need to give my
2 cents on this publicly. Because it bugs me. Sorry in advance!
Take it easy please. :-)<br>
<br>
What you (Sergio, Maria, Kavita, Rafael, John) are doing here is
derailing Stevens rightful and polite request to stick to the
lists topic, and bringing this on a personal/social level by
accusing Steven he is out of touch and corrupting the
communication environment, exclude perspectives and what not. This
is not Ok, from my point of view. And it is indeed a form of
social violence... <br>
<br>
I think Suchith is a grown man (and professional) and can take
such feedback without getting personally offended. But if so, he
can very well defend himself if he thinks that he needs to defend
himself. AFAIK he is a native english speaker and has the highest
academic degree you can achieve... I know that Steven and Suchith
know each other form the FOSS4G-UK community, so they should be
able to settle this between each other just fine.<br>
<br>
But on the topic, I second Stevens request of please sending less
off-topic messages on this (and other) lists, I also regard public
1 line congratulations and seconds without any relevant
information on the discussed topic as unnecessary and irrelevant
traffic (these kind of messages are - from my perception - at
least 50% of messages on this GeoForAll list). Are you not
interested in decreasing your daily incoming mails? <br>
<br>
Where are we when we can't give this kind of feedback or bring up
such matters/opinions? Others just unsubscribe from the list and
do not give this - from my point of view - valuable feedback...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Take it easy!</p>
<p>Best,<br>
Christian<br>

<div> I’m missing something. </div>

</div>
<div>Can you explain how this is relevant to OSGeo? Today is
also the birthday of King Richard 3rd of England, Groucho
Marx, Coco the Clown, Robert Henry Lawrence Jr and many
others but I don’t think any of them were open source
digital geographers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand why you might admire Gandhi but others may
not agree. OSGeo Discuss is not the place for these
conversations imo, which is evidenced by the lack of
response that such posts receive</div>

</div>
<div>Perhaps the GeoforAll list is a more relevant place?</div>
