[rti4empowerment] Re: [rti4ngo] Internet RTI impersonation allegations get murkier

 

dear veereshji ,

the anonymous owners of the HumJanenge google group has hijacked
almost all of my mail ids . not only this i was getting the unwanted
mails from uncivilised , uncultured members of those googlegroups so
to teach them a lesson , i put all my mail ids on mail forward to my
blogs and the result is before me , the google group spammers have
stopped sending unwanted e-mails to me and i am relieved of the
problem of mails from uncivilised , uncultured spammers.

now i am happy with my yahoogroups which are people friendly .and are
really humane.
