Its okay Sajith :) It happens. Had this topic come up a year ago, I would have reacted in the same way.
We can still make a small change in our own way. At this point I would like to share a few "lessons" that I learnt from the Demo@Schools project:
1. If you want to make a change (be it about Free Software Education or even cleaning up your own room) it has to have an equal amount of contribution from all the people involved. When a few people put in too much energy, those others who cannot put such an enthu *might* get bogged down and they will eventually stop contributing whatever energy thast they could afford.
2. If a project starts shooting up at a very high angle at the very beginning its almost always going to follow the law of gravity -- it will become a "falling knife" (pardon me for my stock market lingua ;) )
