A strangled cry since you ask directly!

[Guest guest]

Varun,

 

Since you name me by name and wonder why I am silent about this

positive change, it is because I just got back from work and still

going through messages.

 

I have just now congratulated Ashutosh and Tanvir for this wonderful

decision to appoint Ashutoshji as a moderator.

 

I am hopeful that this will bring some healthy effects on this group.

 

A person who is a professional and whose livelihood depends upon

astrology has got to be serious and disciplined about astrology and

about managing time! I see that as important qualities for someone in

the role of a moderator. I think Ashutosh ji has shown promise in the

past regarding that. In fact the very fact that he has agreed to

spend his valuable time moderating this board speaks highly of his

dedication to the cause of astrology.

 

Vocal enough for you, Varun?
