While these are not directly related to Linux, they are connected -
which is why they get redirected to -general.

I don't recommend that you recommend people to -general. Because, by
definition, the topics that get discussed here are only loosely related
to Linux in India.  -general is for things that don't fit anywhere else.

But if you're suggesting that some of the more "heated" debates go
to other places, I agree. The advocacy types should move to -advocacy.
My next mail and follow ups on GPL will be on -advocacy.

To some extent, passion and chaos are an integral part of the Linux
culture. It's hard to get rid of it on a public mailing list.
