Dear Marlon, Thanks for the information on Dave Futers. Which organization? Which schools in Goa? If he is doing a good job in Goa,he is welcome here...by charter or otherwise. I was only responding to his posting tangentially attacking my earlier postings. I stand by assertion that British charter tourists as a whole do not give Goa a 'net benefit' directly. It is a fact, I see no need to be an ostrich about that! Could you please name the schools that you know that Dave has helped computerize. I know about ISEAF. Never heard of Dave. Not too late to know him,I guess. I too work with schools,though not with computers.
For the record,I have never ever called Dave Futers a "cheap charter tourist".Those are your words. If you want to call him that,do not act like a ventroloquist and project the words as coming from me. Pray,tell me what is a *retired british national* ? Whether Dave has done more for Goa than I have, it is for the beneficiaries to decide. Dave has not raised this issue with me. What have *you* done for Goa,Mr.Marlon Menezes?? Can we discuss that? Please. Viva Goa.
