The discussions on this mailing list are mild in comparison with some
non-local mailing lists.

The reality is that people will have to compete with each other as it
is a way, for example, to identify the best person to hire or for the
person to be able to rate himself/herself. At the same time, a
subscriber should understand that it will be frowned upon if he or
she does anything to discourage a university student from
participating in a discussion.

I met some people (on the island) who underestimate their level of
expertise. There are also some people who have potential. It puts
people on the island at a disadvantage as the competition is global.
