Dear Mervyn, What else can I say.....you have said it so well.
I believe that it may be related to the following (a) It no longer serves the original purpose it possibly was founded for ie To find a Mate (b) The inequitable application of Salazarist moderation. (c) Time for the Salazars to train (even a few) Marcelo Caetanos and step down. (d) The younger generation are NOT into writing more that (say) 4 Twitter words. (e) The few older ones, who write, are getting repetitive and boring. The one credit to Goanet moderators: Unlike the moderators of Goa Book Club (who are equally Salazarist) , They do not publicly behave in a disgustingly petty and abusive manner with each other and others. BTW Mervyn, I am copying this to you and bcc to others. Not sure this will appear on Goanet jc > On Mar 16, 2015, at 9:11 PM, Mervyn Lobo <mervynal...@yahoo.ca> wrote: > > Goanet used to be a great meeting place, once upon a time. > This evening, as I started opening the posts for the past 10 days I found: > 1) Approx 65% of the emails were composed entirely of a link i.e. essentially > directing the reader away from this forum. > 2) Another 25% of the emails were from people who either have a tough time > writing a simple thought or are writing entire posts encrypted. > 3) Two posts from an interesting writer who sends a copy here, of what he > writes elsewhere. > 4) Lots of great pictures.
