Dear Bhagavatas:
My reply to Sri Sudarshan's observations (in the enclosed mail) is given below:
Dear Sri Sudarshan:
You have observed:
" I really don't know why the topic has been banned in srirangasri. It
is a harmless topic and I would have hoped for a funny and lively
discussion on it. It's sad to watch interesting discussions budding
forth but quickly getting snuffed out since it grows into adversarial
debate"
You have answered your question!
"Sri Ranga Sri" is primarily a journal. 
Any discussions can still be carried on in the "Satsangam" portal, 
subject to the norms outlined in the description of the site. 
As only members can post, those desiring to read / participate 
in such discussions will have to enroll by sending an email to
"Satsangam-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Dear Sri Kaasyapah,

You are right. The way we SriVaishnavas use the form of 
address "swAmi" has been explained neatly by Sri Anbil SvAmin in his 
post y/day.

One must however be aware that "swAmi" is also used by the general 
(non-srivaishnava) and larger public also. In that milieu "swAmi" has 
a different focus and which adiyane's post dealt with.

As the Moderator has suggested we can pursue discussing this 
delightful thread on 'satsangham' group (outside Srirangasri) if you 
want. 

I really don't know why the topic has been banned here. It is a 
harmless topic and I would have hoped for a funny and lively 
discussion on it. It's sad to watch interesting discussions budding 
and quickly getting snuffed out since it quickly grows into 
adversarial debate.

Regards,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
