Hi Tarun,

Thanks for giving time to reply to my email. But yes my email was
totally based on the FACTS. You are right that "Lot of things are
easier said than done."

If I look in the past, myself has posted a message on May 16 this year
after Jan 14, 2005. Of course there MUST be some reason.

I posted my message this time, as I like to see our group growing, but
I'm sorry to say that this has been taken personally.

Also, regarding the member count, I had given you the count of members
joined in last one year..not the total and FYI and rememberance, the
home page tell us the total members since beginning.

Anyways, I know few of the person who dont want to join the group. The
metter is not that they are not interested in Linux or in Jodhour
group..but now I think I shoud reveal one major problem. And that
reason has come true by your reply.

I must tell other group members that my memory tells me that Tarun was
having a plan to have group website on its second anniversary on
Sourceforge. BUT AS I CREATED A LOGIN FOR SunnyLUG instead of
moderators, WE ARE STILL NOT HAVING THE SAME. My email communication
in this regard was seen by many Linux users of Jodhpur and by the
response they felt very bad and decided not to join the group. Its not
mandatory to have the site on the sourceforge but I've told everyone
it just as an example.

I think, the group means WE not I.

I NEVER WANTED TO HAVE THIS GROUP A FIELD OF BATTLE BUT THE REPLY OF
TARUN HAS MADE IT LIKE THIS.

SORRY TARUN, I and other group members are with you to grow the group,
but of course all members want to work as a team.

I know, my this email is quite harsh, but I had to do that for OUR
GROUP's benefit.

For You' magazine also lists our LUG. Moreover the moderators from
time to time contact people in and around the city as well as out side
also to join the group. It is also the responsibility of every member
to promote the group and invite members.
