Dear Revata,

I'm sorry to hear that you are leaving because there is not enough Pali
language material but if you look at the objectives of the group, you will
see that discussions of other matters apart from just Pali language are
deemed acceptable. Since I joind this group, it is not my impression that
the amount of Pali language topics has diminished but the range of other
topics has broadened and increased. Although some of the recent discussions
have been heated, and at times rather unpleasant, these topics are important
for a deeper understanding of the texts and the teachings of the Buddha --
even if we cannot reach an agrement on some of these things. But good luck
with your studies whatever you do !

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
