[Ocfs2-users] Hi

[nirmal tom]

hi,
i dont think ,Alexei_Roudnev make any official recommendation.It is his 
suggestion only.If users dont have rights to criticize or suggest then it is 
not an open source solution, and it is not healthy for this mailing 
list.Perhaps, i found your words too strong sunil.Why cant u say it 
politely?

Regards,
Nirmal Tom.
