Subject: FW: [Goanet] Has anyone been removed ?
Over the years, few subscribers have been remove from the Goanet mailing
list and I do remember almost all the incidents. In my humble opinion these
few subscribers deserved to be removed in their respective circumstances and
I congratulate the 'Goanet Admin Team' for taking appropriate action.

Subject: [Goanet] Has anyone been removed from TGF d-list?
Dear all,
JC would have stayed out off from any further comment
on this present fracas on GoaNet. However, this
afternoon, Nassau time, this is what Viviana Coelho
posted:
[Do you think that no one has ever been removed from
any other Goa related group?? Ask Agnelo Gomes or Dr.
Jose Colaco or Eddie Fernandes if anyone has ever been
removed from their groups, and if those other lists
have conditional membership as well.]
Just for the record as far as TGF d-list is concerned.
The answer is YES.
4 members have thus far been unsubscribed
1. Agnelo Gomes for his attack on GoaNet ( and NOT for
his views on Goa visavis India as he has claimed more
than once - I have FWD copies with me)
2. Edgar Martins for his repeated attack on GoaNet &
Marlon ( Marlon's puerile earlier comment on GoaNet
notwithstanding )
[in contravention of TGF's stated policy (at the time)
of NO ATTACK on GoaNet or GoaNet Admin]
3. Leo Rebello - at his own challenge to unsubscribe.
4. Milton Rodrigues - for spamming diatribe.
In effect, I suppose, it supports Viviana's point.
Please abide by GoaNet's rules. All other Goan Lists
are enforcing them.
At time of posting, Am happy to report that TGF d-list
is also ABIDING by Yahoo Rules.
BTW: you might be interested to know that TGF has
turned down repeated 'advice' from netters ( some no
longer on TGF) to unsubscribe other Goans for various
reasons....e.g. unsubscribe George Pinto for his
"anti-views" on the Catholic Church!
needless to say....we did NO such thing and dumped
that request and others similar to that, on to our ZIP
disk!
sincerely,
jose colaco for TGF d-list

Subject: [Goanet] British boxer Lennox Lewis stuns Tyson for famous win
Lewis had Tyson in trouble throughout the fight
Lennox Lewis recorded a superb victory over Mike Tyson to retain his world
heavyweight boxing crown in Memphis on Saturday. The British fighter won
their long-awaited title bout with a stoppage in round eight.
Lewis produced his best form to see off the former champion and in doing so
confirmed his status as one of the great modern heavyweights.
Lewis' mother Violet congratulates the champion
He finished the contest two minutes and 25 seconds into the eighth with a
withering right hook that put Tyson flat on his back.
Fears that the fight could descend into the kind of ugly scenes that have
dogged Tyson's career proved unfounded.
Instead the event provided a timely boost for a beleaguered sport, with the
boxers trading compliments after an enthralling and sporting contest.
The victory ranks as arguably the finest moment in Lewis' long career.
And it will go a long way to silencing his critics - particularly in the US,
where the 36-year-old has sometimes struggled for recognition.
"This completed my legacy," Lewis proclaimed immediately after his win.
"I wanted to prove I was the best boxer in the world, on the planet.
"Nobody gets away from my jab."
Tyson could only manage occasional glimpses of the ferocious power that made
him a boxing legend in the late 1980s and early '90s.
Lewis was on top throughout the fight and, after being docked a point for
pushing Tyson to the canvas at the end of round four, he then twice floored
the challenger in the eighth.
First he landed with a left uppercut and, although Tyson survived the first
count, Lewis finished the job with a huge right.
Tyson, condemned in many quarters for his behaviour in and out of the ring,
was magnanimous in defeat.
"I have love and respect for Lennox," Tyson said.
"He's a magnificent fighter - and I'd love for him to give me another shot
(at the title)."
Lewis paid tribute to Tyson's ability to withstand intense pressure for so
long.
"Some of those punches I hit him with on the right-hand side, he took them
like a man - I was shocked he was able to take them."
It was the first time the two boxers, who have dominated the division in
recent years, had met in the ring - but the fight nearly never happened.
Tyson had his boxing licence revoked by the Nevada State Commission after he
sparked a brawl at a news conference.
Memphis was later chosen as an alternative venue.

Blessed Padre Pio da Pietralcina
While Blessed Padre Pio da Pietralcina's canonization looks set to go down
in Rome's history as one of its largest religious ceremonies on June 16, his
devotees in Kuwait will be celebrating this glorious event on June 17 at the
Holy Family Cathedral Kuwait with a Eucharistic celebration followed by
fellowship. Watch out for further details on the Goan Internet Forums.

Subject: [Goanet] Anti-defection
Dear Fredrick,
I read your letter regarding anti-defection.We have to remember that
a law is a law and a politician is a politician.There is no point
arguing about the morals behind this.We have to ensure that the law
regarding antidefection is abolished in toto and we should expect that
as long as this exists defection will.
We cannot change the politician and since they themselves male the law
it appears a remote task in getting this changed.We have to ensure that
whenever a defector in anyform recontests he is defeated.Tall ask though
God bless us all.
Regards,
Jose
