<div dir="ltr">Suresh, I read the entire thread of e-mails before I wrote my reply to you. There are two things to note in the article:<br><ol><li>The words "<b>... most retweeted ever</b>" was mentioned. This is social networking; a main pillar of IG.</li>
<li>The article goes on to say that "<b>Well over half a million users of image-sharing social network Instagram posted images of themselves voting. However, US law experts were quick to warn voters that in some states it is in fact illegal to take and share such images</b>". This relates to openness; mainly privacy and to some extent IP.</li>
</ol><p>When a person joins a mailing list, they have to expect the varying volume of traffic. I share on the mailing list articles that I believe to be within the boundaries of IG and AFTER READING IT. If that does not suit one, as Charity mentioned "<b>One can hit the delete button</b>".<br>
</p><p></p><p>In the end, it is always not easy to satisfy everyone's desires.<br></p>I hope that clarifies your concerns.<br><br>Fahd<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 12:41 AM, Suresh Ramasubramanian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:suresh@hserus.net" target="_blank">suresh@hserus.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>
