Because it is OT here, it is unwanted, it just floods the list and many more
reasons.

Well, so far I am concerned, even a single OT posting constitutes
flooding.

What sentiments? That someone, whom I don't even know, is wasting my
hard earned bandwidth - bandwidth that I have reserved to learn more
about the Linux operating system - for absolutely irrelevant and frivolous
activities?

Diwali greetings have a place, I admit - but not in a mailing list that
has in its charter 'Discussion of issues related to programming in Linux'.

My INR 0.02.
