Re: [ga] Alternative roots

[kstubbs@digitel.net (Digitel - Ken Stubbs)]

its interesting to see that the principal emphasis for the ga lately has
"shifted" to alternate roots
after over one year of controversial discussions and serious campaigning on
issues like establishment of an individual constituancy , we suddenly see
the ga list turning into an "alternate roots" forum.


if you doubt my assertions here,  just do statistical analysis of the emails
over the last 7 days and you can arrive at your own conclusions...
