Congratulations and thanks to the folks who made this forum possible.
AT the outset let me make it clear
1) I am against banning anybody because of his views.
2) There are forum guidelines which need to be adhered to and respected. After all the supreme court (in US) has ruled that the bylaws (of a sub division) signed by a home owner take precedence over individual constitutional rights. SO forum rules prevail. But a greatest lattitude must be given to the forum members before resorting to draconian measures are instituted.
3) The forum should not only dwell in the past but must be critical about the present and how the past mistakes should /could be avoided.
4) There should be a quarterly magazine section which collects good discussion and converts them into articles and essays.
5) There should be a thread for This Week in World Press which collates some of the articles published by worlds leading news mags papers and web sites.
6) There could be region wide gurus like
Australia, Japan, HK, Indonesia etc.
China & TSP for one group because one is the shadow of the other.
US /Canada form a unit.
Mexico and Latin America should form a unit (If there is anybody who speaks/reads Spanish that would be a great asset) we need to find how the Latin public percieves India. Spain & Portugal could be in this unit.
UK France Germany one unit
Central Europe ( Hugary, Ukraine, Poland, Norway, Sweeden etc one unit.
Russia by itself one unit.
Finally never banish humor or pun, yes yes I know 'Free speech is limited' because its free. <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Just some initial thoughts.
All in all a great job and keep it up guys.
Jai Hind.
