Dear Goanetters, It is several days now since I introduced this thread. The response has been less than enthusiastic. I can only presume that those who were involved in the serious incidents mentioned are no longer gracing Goanet with their presence. Since these are important questions ( as Dr Jose-bab Colaco's personal experiences display ) , I feel we should give these individuals another week or so ( after which I shall not pay attention to this thread unless significant input occurs ) As I said before , my questions are pretty specific ( and I have not mentioned names or included any links from the archives as multiple netters and / or threads may be involved ). However, those involved in these (mis)adventures should be able to identify their involvement with ease ( unless they have a brain the size of a peanut ) As a reminder , I append the original post again ( please ignore the bit about Chinmay's family name and note that I stand corrected on the fact that the JC issue was much more serious than I thought ) : http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2008-February/069577.html If the Goanetters involved are no longer around, so be it. If they come forward and explain the basis for their actions , good for them. HOWEVER , if ( and I repeat IF ) they are still around and do not have the guts to defend their actions , they are : i ) An absolute disgrace to Goanet. ii ) Cowardly scum. iii ) Stupid rabble rousers. iv ) *&%$£*'s not to forget %$*&^%'s v ) Etc etc etc. While we are awaiting these characters to make their re-appearance on Goanet , here is a superb collection of Konkani songs from one of my favourite e-sites. We have Alfred and Rita Rose , Lorna , Padmashri M Boyer ( one of my childhood idols and one of whose Tiatr's I had the good fortune of performing in ) and many others. The songs include vintage favourites like Yo baayle Yo , Bandra festak , Hanv saiba poltodi vetam , Juliana and my favourite by a mile ,the evergreen Adeus. I am sure all on Goanet ( except the few who have just a cursory and mild interest in Goan issues or are around with the express purpose of shouting abuse / disseminating falsehoods / spreading hatred etc etc ) http://www.goaholidayhomes.com/goan-music.php Finally , I wish to announce a competition based on a Goan rather than a western theme. I would be grateful if Goanetters would send in lists of what they perceive were Manohar Parrikars errors during his 51 months of governance ( ideally with reasons as to why they feel these were mistakes ). The person who can name all errors ( I have a full list ) will win Rs 100. A contribution will be made for every entry received towards The Goanet Sudharop foundation ( a charitable organisation dedicated to eradicating abuse and abusive individuals on Goanet ). I shall discuss the many follies of Manohar Parrikar on this forum ( with links from credible sources to back my opinion ...as the latter could well be biased ) after the closing date of this competetion ( which is February 28th 2008 ) luv and regards, anand ( Dr Anand Virgincar ) _________________________________________________________________ Who's friends with who and co-starred in what? http://www.searchgamesbox.com/celebrityseparation.shtml
