Dear GoaNetters: After all that has been said and done, I like the way Fred has chosen to fling down the gauntlet and hope we can all resolve to look forward in a positive way. The first responsibility naturally falls upon the Goanet Admin. Team to establish the broad parameters for operation. IMHO, it has ages since the last Policy Guidelines were issued. A dynamic list like Goanet, needs at least quarterly pronouncements. Also, netters should know the composition of the A-Team and recourses available :( To get the subject ball rolling, I am initiating the subject discussions. Only now is allopathy coming to grips with what was common knowledge to our parents and forebears in the field of medicine :-) Leeches used to controlling blood pressure in Goa, I've read are now used in modern surgeries. Our parents brought home various roots and herbs from Goa and mainly used home remedies which really worked. A Goan from New Delhi told me that their family was privy to a wealth of such information, which is being passed down through heredity. While obviously there are some treasured cooking trade secrets, etc., would it not be great if we share our talents for the greater good of the Goan community? A recent example of a science problem solved by a kindly soul with a caveat "hope this was not a homework assignment," gave me a chuckle. After all, isn't it in giving that we truly receive? This is just one avenue in which we can challenge ourselves towards helping one another, instead of you know what? Are there any takers?
