	To all those who read or post to soc.culture.bangladesh:
        --------------------------------------------------------

Please let us not forget what SCB is for. It is for the discussion of news,
issues, etc. pertaining to Bangladesh. I personally (and I believe there are
many others like me) do not like to read articles not related to Bangladesh.
Once again, PLEASE refrain from posting articles not related to Bangladesh.
There are (probably) other newsgroups which may be an appropriate forum for
your discussion, (the people reading/posting to those newsgroups might be
better aware/knowledgeable of what you are trying to discuss and be able to
provide you with better feedback). People who read a certain newsgroup are
usually not interested in articles not related to the newsgroup. There's a
very simple way to get rid of such articles using the KILL file. To learn
about proper net etiquettes (netiquettes) please read the appropriate news.*
newsgroups. To voice your articles to the appropriate audience, post them to
the appropriate groups, else people will put you in their killfile.

Also, please don't post test messages to this newsgroup. There are a bunch
of test newsgroups (alt.test, misc.test, news.test, gnu.test, etc.) for
posting test msgs. The additional advantage of posting to these newsgroups
is that some sites will automatically acknowledge the receipt of your article
via e-mail. This will give you some notion about the whereabouts of your test
message. (I hope ?)

And this is for MR. INDU:    (Sorry for posting this here. I should have
-------------------------     e-mailed, but I thought that other netters who
                              have similar bad habits might benefit from and
                              become more aware of this problem.)

Your articles to SCB (Followups to Talaq over Telephone) have been bothering
me and many others. The appropriate forum for your discussion would be
soc.religion.islam, and NOT  soc.culture.bangladesh.  Please note that, at
present me and a few of my friends have put you in our KILL file list. (May
be you don't care about that, but the point of posting is so that people read
what you have to say. Sorry, it had to come down to this). Your articles are
also the reason why I am posting this article in the first place.

I personally think your articles are extremely disrespectful to the entire
Muslim community. They are very abusive and rude. You have totally violated
netiquettes. I would suggest that you read the appropriate news.* newsgroups
before you post anything else. Please do read them.

You have been posting the same questions over and over even after many netters
have pointed it out to you that SCB is not the appropriate forum for your
discussion. You have been personally addressing people in your articles to
respond to your questions. This should be done by e-mail.

Before you post anything that can offend a lot of people, do your homework
properly. Don't believe anything you read. Read books by not one, but many
authors. Try to get a wide-angle view. When someone suggests that you read
or watch some video (e.g. watch debates(?) between Ahmad Deedat and Anis
Sorrosh (sp?) ) don't respond bluntly by saying you are interested in facts
only; as these sources might be providing you some facts/insight into the
matter. From the repetitiveness of the questions in your postings, it seems
to ME that you simply want to start a net-war. Please, refrain from such
malicious intent.

Don't try to post a followup directed towards me as this would simply waste
bandwidth. You are in my KILL file list.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



The intention of this post is to remind all SCBites the purpose of SCB.
All this is intended in good faith & hope. Please accept it as a friendly
suggestion. No flames intended.
