Namaskaram people!
	As you would see if you read my other recent postings, I have
undertaken the necessary task for organizing ack topics. Well, so far the only
contribution has come from Chintu who suggests the excellent and useful topic
of food. Well, then, here is my updated ACK TOPIC LIST (that's what I have
decided will be the name for my list).
	
	OLD items :    1. Historical aspects of Kerala
			  (written as Kerala's history in subject line)
	 	       2. History of Malayalee people
			  (written as Malayalee people in subject line)
	 	       3. Origins of the Malayalam language
			  (written as Malayalam Language in subject line)
	 	       4. Economic activities in Kerala
			  (written Economics in Kerala in subject line)
	 	       5. Social activities,customs,welfare
			  (written as Malayalee Society in subject line)
	 	       6. Entertainment
	 	       7. Religion in Kerala
	 	       8. Education in Kerala
	 	       9. Famous Malayalees (in India and abroad,dead or alive)
			  (written as Famous Mallus in the subject line)
		      10. Politics in Kerala
		      11. Kerala in relation to India and the rest of the world
			  (written as Kerala-India/Kerala-World in subject
			  line)
		      12. Future of Kerala
	NEW addition: 13. Malayalee food

Now, if any of you are unable to understand what I have in mind when I name a
topic, like say Religion in Kerala, please see my first ACK TOPIC LIST with the
examples I have cited. I hope that in future these topics will be used by all
of you when you type your SUBJECT line because this would make it EASIER FOR
ACK USERS TO SKIP ANY TOPICS IN WHICH THEY HAVE NO INTEREST (after all it must
be pretty boring to have to look at every article to see what in heaven's name
that person is talking about).

OKAY ONE LAST THING : I AM WAITING FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS!!!!!
SO PLEASE SEND ME E-MAIL THIS WEEKEND AND MAKE THE APPROPRIATE SUGGESTIONS
ABOUT INCLUDING AND NOT INCLUDING CERTAIN TOPICS. I WILL ALSO WELCOME
SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION/FORMAT FOR THE LIST AND THE
SUBJECT LINES USED FOR THEM. I HOPE THAT I WILL HAVE A FULL MAILBOX ON MONDAY
WHEN I RETURN HERE. THIS LIST IS REVISABLE AND IT WOULD BE WORTH IT TO DO
EXACTLY THAT.

								Thanks,

P.S. I also have a suggestion about irrelevant postings. Anyone making postings
that don't fit into the final list (when we get it) of topics should type
Irrelavant Post in their subject line. This saves the rest of us from the
horrifying task of having to read it (assuming we don't want to).
