---------- Maybe: Brethren and sistren OR Mogall Goenkar ani non-Goenkar bhavano ani bhoinnenon OR Yo! OR Friends, Goans, Countrymen - and those in other countries with their heart in Goa OR Greetings from Moira OR Augusto Pinto sends greetings from Altinho OR To GoaNet, Augusto sends greetings OR Greetings Earthlings The possibilities are endless. Please use your imagination. Cheers! Cecil ======
