Hi Philip, Sorry to burst your bubble, even though that was not my intention. Please do not take it personally. I hope your attitude is not how "Goanet works" and yea that's a pity. The intention of my post is to encourage Goan posters to write hard facts that are more educational and less opinions. CyberGoa is not an international balcao.:=))
So you don't like my suggestion of Point / Counterpoint format written by RECOGNIZED EXPERTS? You don't think Goan experts can write? :=)) and Only our "wise" journalists can educate cyber-Goans?:=)). The following is a response from "someone in the know." Needless to say, I am very appreciative of him taking the time to educate me with facts and figures about the issue. He has posted this information in 2004 on Goanet as per his e-mail to me. Those interested in his detailed response can do the research. Of course I will spare you the trouble to read other positive letters I have recieved. You and native Goan journalists should be proud that Goans in the Diaspora are interested in and take the trouble to know THE FACTS about Goa. And that's not a pity.:=)) Kind Regards, GL Dear Lawrence, Well, here is retired Navy brass writing in response, solely to you and not to goanet! You must have already read about 70 anti Navy posts written by someone who is not even a Goan, - Philip Thomas, on that forum. You must have also read some statements by polliticians recently stating that the Navy should leave Dabolim. Well, let me tell you most emphatically, that all the information about the Navy's hindrance to civil aviation in Goa is misinformation. Let me put things into perspective. ............... I am just about fed up of reading most of the rubbish which appears on goanet from time to time, so have decided to hold my peace. Besides I have no intention of aggravating my hypertension. So you are free to use this information, but please do not bring me into the discussion......... The wishes of this authoritative source are honored, and I thank him for his response - GL Philip Thomas: My feedback on this post for what its worth: 1. The author doesnt seem to trust a word of what he reads on goanet. 2. He himself has little or nothing by way of information or insights to share on the topic under discussion. 3. He is under the illusion that other goanetters are waiting with bated breath to hear what he wants and will jump to supply it. My friend, if you haven't understood how goanet works, you may never do so! Pity.
