Hi Sonali, It is very good to hear from you albeit under your phony alias. Would you by any chance happen to be related to an Ashok Chodnakar who apparently sabotaged Gaspar Almedia's computer on a number of ocassions?
Anyway, to answer your question: No, goanet is not violating yahoogroups policies. For one thing, the mailing list is actually hosted on goacom, not yahoogroups. GOACOM offers this service to goanet for free, with no strings attached. Secondly as was posted by the goanet-admin team, Goanet/Herman collects advertizing money on goanet to support non-commerical activities and promotional activities in Goa. Hence even if Goanet were hosted by Yahoogroups, it would not be breaking their rules as goanet is a non-commerical entity. If asked by yahoogroups, I expect Herman to be able to provide all the necessary documentation/receipts. Now rather not surpisingly, Ulysses and Gaspar have in private threats raised exactly the same issue as you and have threatened to shut down goanet by bringing this issue up with yahoogroups. You will be happy to know that goanet will continue to function regardless of what they try and do. If it is anyone who should be worried about violating the rules of yahoogroups, it should be them. They have consistently promoted the floral business of their business partner in Goa on a number of their mailing lists. Since they and their partner obtain clear material and non-material gains through this collaboration, the phrase "dont throw stones in glass houses" comes to mind. To the rest of the netters: What we are seeing here is a "set up" by this junta. One of them willfully breaks the rules after apparently having been told several times (in private) to stop promoting their business on this mailing list. Upon removing this person, the rest of the junta jumps in by making private threats against goanet. Next, new "members" we never knew we had (such as our beloved Sonali), jump into the fray and repeat the same in public. Man, these guys make some of our politicians in Goa look good.
