Is this ( highlighted below) message to confirm Mark has unsubscribed from this group of his own volition ? If so, it is a very sad. I am sure there are many like me who would like to see his unbiased and even Pallava bisased views on various historical and literary topics including Thevaram, his expressive area of interest.
He is erudite, articulat and very respectful to all religious thoughts, including Hinduism. With his delightful pro-Pallava lean he has been sharing counter views on Tamil history which I thoroughly enjoy. I would hate to see him going on account of any misunderstanding on a touchy issue discussed by any member that made him to make this move. I extend apology on behalf of the group if so.
Please sign back in Mark. I am already missing your his signature 'adiyen' mudra.
