Re: Resignation of Suresh Ramasubramanian and Udhay Shankar from the india-gii moderator role

On india-gii, I do not recall us ever asking anyone to leave. Part of
moderation is to cool tempers down, so that it is not necessary.

In any case, a decision of this magnitude should never have been taken
without consulting all the moderators.

Sarbajit, please feel free to rejoin the list.

Please note, everyone, that we will not tolerate rudeness, nor making any
discussion personal. You may criticize an opinion, but not the person
holding the opinion. Please also keep in mind our mandate, discussing
India's telecom and Internet woes, and avoid off-topic comments.

Warmly,
Arun Mehta
