Thanks for the [Tamil] tag.

The added guidelines are in the above link.
It never talked about the [Tamil] Tag.

1. Have the subject in English
2. Provide a translation of the content in english, if we use any
other language in the content.

You did not followed any of the above guidelines.



>> Please add english translations in your mails.
>> We had this in our guidelines already.
> Please reconsider as that puts un-necessary burden.

Please dont think following guidelines is burden.

Avoiding top post carefully, Avoiding SMS Language,
Quoting properly, is tough only.
But we all follow the guidelines to maintain a good culture in the list.

I request you to follow the guidelines.

It is the same logic to discuss in hindi as we are a part of
"Indian Linux User Group".
We never prevented Tamil mailing.
We all welcome that.
But, as a major part of the people dont know reading tamil,
they have no clue on what you are sending.

They need the translation from the OP.
We should consider their request.

I dont know why you are not considering this request.


>> The OP should add english translation.

Yes.

1. Have the subject in English
2. Provide a translation of the content in english, if we use any
other language in the content.

Guidelines insist the English translation only.
Not [Tamil] Tag. Not both.

Guidelines are to be followed.
Not to break intentionally.

There should not be any intended violation of guidelines.

---

We should know the information from the tamil mails,
without searching for a tamil known person to read the mails.

Already requested for a solution in

http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2010-July/058775.html

Please give a solution.

1. you are denying deliberately some part of people from getting the information
2. you are breaking the guidelines

What shall we do?
