Maina et. al. I think the issue of "local spam" & forced subscriptions to lists actually started with Alex. Another person raised it...and then Aki got a mischevious offline message...so did i. Ignoring the facts above is allowing us to distort the issue here. I was asked to complain directly to the list owner; something I have done numerous times. Now that the list owner is the sender of offline messages, i'd appreciate a conclusion on the issue of LOCAL SPAM. ;-) calmly, Wainaina On 11/18/08, John Maina <j.maina@ymail.com> wrote:

I think that now you are not making sense.
You dont seem to have any facts for opposing Robert but just want to look like a molested child.
Lets take criticism kindly and honestly. Cheap and misconceived and arrogant reply will just result into fghts which nobody would love in the forum
When someone comes to these fora and he/she is new, you will get people trying to out do each other on how they are the experts, but let me tell you that expertise in a profession is never meassured in how many papers you have, its what you have achieved with your papers and recognition.
However much we would like to say Robert is bad, I am in his list but running 12,000 people with more than 500 daily emailss is hard whatever way you look at it

Not to worry Aki,
I've received similar ones ;-)
On a serious ettiquette note, should people be be free to send threats and insults off-line to people who disagree with their views on the list?...yet remain on the list?
I hope this time I won't receive a scary offline message ;-)

Well, well, well. Do I sense a cyber " warning " here ? Robert, clearly something is amiss....

Aki
who are you? what are your achievement and knowledge on ICT? You dont even know anything you are talking about. I will never have a phobia for local content. I love it and would fight for it. But I can never argue with you because first, you are ashamed of yourself that you wont come out of the fake cocoon.
I deal with real people and real issues and until then, you dont play in my league and you are not invited to any of my sites. KEEP OFF

My last thoughts on this before it becomes more like a blogging site. Robert, you are still unable to define local content and therefore unable to match any criticism or critic. Mixing small words with bigger words for the sake of it is the usual illusion. I think the severe arrogance and

of local everything ( of course with the usual spices such as politics, leaders and events, esle the traffic to sites would not exist ) is over-rated and the best effort so far according to you for local content is a website that I'd never visit or waste any time on.
So simply moving forward, and as Josiah and the others mentioned : Define local content and we will start to get somewhere.
Get to the point.
