Pire, In mid-December 2005, I tried to read comments about my own article. Which author wouldn't want to read comments from his readers? I did not know that I had to log in, and someone had to approve of my membership and all that. But the system would not let me be a member and therefore read the comments. So, I said, the hell with it, and moved on, and forgot all about it. Never made any request to anyone to let me in. It's only recently in here on Sajha when Nepe mentioned about the group's membership process that I was: amazed, appalled and perversely fascinated! I think the group's membership process pretty much tells us what's wrong with democratic debates Nepal. It's so goddamn polarized that everything is reduced to "if you are for us totally, you must be against us" level. And that's sad. Happy being a member ofv this OPEN forum. oohi ashu
