     Thank you sir, I respect your freedom of speech; other than that I dont
want to waste my time to get a certificate from you.

     But want to point a lie.  I did  post a series of articles on 'naangam
Tamil (Tamil for science)' (atleast 10-15 of them) and received no response
from the intellectuals like you.  I also posted many aricles on Modern Tamil
literature which again had no response.  The only people who post any serious
subject within the charter of SCT are the same people like Sundarapandiyan,
Sundaramoorthy, Selvakumar, ADAMI Srinivasan, Vigneswaran, Raghavan Jeyaraman
and previuosly Uma Subramaniyan, Kuppusamy Ravindran and a very few occasional 
posters.  There are another group of people who discuss about cinema songs like
Meenakshi Srikanth, V.R.Kumar et al.  Rest of the postings are mere rhetoric.
If this 'rhetoric group' keeps away, SCT will be very clean.  But I dont demand
that because I respect the freedom of speech.  Then only way is to fight them.
