Mr. Birbal Singh/Anil, I have been keeping abreast of the string of posts on this topic and even though my initial interest had been till now caught up with the very positive initiative of this post...of course one cannot blame me now to slowly lose interest with the very 'techie' recent strings, which are not at all down my line....Dr. Birbal Singh (Aug 03, 2004 09:55 a.m.):
But when I look from the point of view that what could be accomplished through the joint effort of all the talented young people on this site then I feel rather disappointed. There has not been a united effort to pool the talent on the site.
So, I am writing this post to challenge the youthful, talented and energetic members that instead of spending time on writing silly posts do something more productive. I see immense opportunities in the next economic upswing and you have all the resources to take advantage of it.
Here is my suggestion:
Schedule sessions for brainstorming to come up with a plan to use the technical talent and financial resources available through the site. We have talented people from many fields on this site and there is lot of potential for synergy.
Let us do something meaningful rather than wasing time on writing silly posts.
Birbal Singh
