Dear Francis, I am relieved to know that Isabel Joanes is your friend, and that you are aware that she is using your IP address to post on Goanet.. However, I am surprised that you are intrigued about my attempt to verify her identity. Perhaps, you have not read her introductory post on Goanet. It is quite unusual for regular folk to use their first Goanet post to attack others. She used her introductory post to publicly insinuate that people associated with the Goenchem Prize were perpetrating a scam, and misusing other people’s money. So please forgive me for continuing to be skeptical of her.
In any case I have responded to her probing questions and insinuations in the following post of mine, and have asked her for further clarifications: http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg51565.html I await her reply. I hope she has a fun visit with you in Canada, and by chatting with other Goanetters like Bosco and Mervyn, is able to satisfy her curiosity regarding Goanet and its archives. Perhaps, at the end of her stay she can post a nice report to Goanet about her visit. I look forward to seeing more of her contributions to Goanet in the immediate future. Cheers, Santosh P.S. BTW, do you know someone by the name of Waylusha? --- On Sun, 9/13/09, Francis Rodrigues <fcarodrig...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Dear Santosh, > > I've just seen your message online - and am dashing off a > quick > response with yours copied basic (I get the Digest, so will > only > receive the full message/s tomorrow).... > > Anyway - > > I would like to say Isabel is related, but she's not!! > She's just > an old friend visiting from Mumbai for the Film Festival > and hoping > to see another "Freida Pinto!"
