Friends,
I hate to get into acrimonious debates, but there is a point of information I will like to share, as it pertains to this group.
It has been stated in few mails that yahoo groups are likely to close down on 15.1.2011. It has been ascertained from persoons working in yahoo is that THIS IS FALSE AND BASELESS.
Let us not waste our time and effort to criticize the enthusiasm of few persons in promoting their group. If our objective is to promote awareness of RTI, we can not object to more groups created for this purpose. I would prefer to take a charitable view and laugh at the aberrations arising from their misplaced enthusiasm ! There is no competition or rivalry.
My humble request is please do not post any further messages about google groups. Very soon, I would prefer to delete all messages relating to criticism of RTI google groups. Can some one please help me to identify them?
Dhirendra Krishna
