so you would have no objection if every member of this list periodically cuts out large chunks of relevant web pages and pastes them into mails to this list? I personally volunteer to contribute at least 1000 relevant pages a week

(according to http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers) /quote: We discuss issues related to promoting, supporting the GNU/Linux OS, various distributions, sharing free/open source resources, have informal and formal meetings/seminars, organise workshops now and then, etc. /unquote
if news is what one is looking for then there are thousands if not lakhs of news websites which one can read directly online (some even deliver them to your mailbox) so its definitely not ok to spam all subscribers with news feeds/links and other errata.
lug's (=linux user group) are about sharing Linux experiences with different flavors of linux/floss and helping users and newbie problems, and more .....
btw, definition of "relevant" , " useful " are highly subjective and mean different things to different people. a better option for those keenly interested in such mail would be to create a special separate mailing list for those interested here : http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/create and **ask** if anyone is interested in joining instead of spamming a general lug-list.
