RE: Is this list serving any purpose?

Dear members,
Mani's question seems to be leading to some introspection. 

Perhaps there are not many learned members who can pour out on aazhvaar's
prabhandhams etc , there by the numbers of articles has reduced of late. So
may be a little relaxation on that could be thought of. 

On the proliferation of groups, yes. The number has become many. At times
same mail is received from more than one source, which at times is an
inconvenience, I feel.

Other wise the list is definitely serving the purpose. 

Just to say about myself, I became very much exposed to so many interesting
topics which otherwise is not that easy for me. 

Dhasan

	Dear Members,
	There hasn't been much activity lately on the Bhakti List.
Presumably this is because of the new guidelines I put in place earlier this
year, and because of the proliferation of various Sri Vaishnava email
discussion groups, each of which have their own focus.
	Given that this is the case, are the Bhakti List and related groups
serving any useful purpose? I mean this as a serious question and not a
rhetorical one. There is no need for this group to exist if members aren't
deriving any benefit from it. It may be that the other groups are more than
adequately satisfying the needs of Internet-aware people interested in Sri
Vaishnava religion and philosophy.
	Or, perhaps the guidelines I put in place are too restrictive?  I
may have put the cart before the horse, but I would appreciate public
comment on where members want to take this group and what they envision as
its purpose. Please be open and frank. Thanks, Mani
