Everyone in the list have same rights.
It is non-ethical to discuss something
where some people see only boxes, question marks, non readable characters.
To avoid boxes, question marks and non readable characters - either install
Tamil fonts or filter out mails with [Tamil] tag. That is a one time task
and the mails will not bother in future.
It means they are prohibited to read the mails in the list.
No one has the authority to prevent the readers from getting the
information.
This basic right of getting information should be maintained for all
the list members.
If Tamil mails are not allowed, that information will not be generated at
all. Then where is the question of "preventing the readers from the getting
information", if Tamil discussions are not taking place, everyone loses.
Please give a solution to maintain the basic rights of all people.
Giving English translation is a nice solution.
If you can not do all the times, it is illegal to ask people
to bear the boxes and question marks.
For boxes and question marks use filtering of [Tamil] tagged mails and get
on with the regular English mails (which will continue as now).
What we seek is to generate more discussions and more participation by
having Tamil communication as an option. This will be over and above what
is taking place now.
We have the following requirement.
We should know the information from the tamil mails,
without searching for a tamil known person to read the mails.
If Tamil discussions do not take place, that information is simply not
available. In that case everyone loses. Without English translation, only
some people fail to get the information.
Even for that, there are interested list members who are willing and
volunteering to translate. But that should not be in the guidelines for the
poster.
Best regards,
Ma Siva Kumar
