This is my last post on this thread and hopefully we-all will see the last of
the spam mail from Goans on the now infamous e-mail list. This is for those who
still have their humor intact. There is always evolution, ..... even among
Goans.
What do we call, when an e-mail list put together by a registered legitimate or
"over-the top" Goan forum, is then enthusiastically or fraudulently used /
permitted / allowed, to be used or is the building block for registered or
non-registered spam mailing?
I would designate/ term this practice, by design or through selective
amnesia, as "being SANTOSHED".
I am applying for copyright to this term. In the interim, I encourage all Goans
to use and make the word "being santoshed" popular. If successful, next year
this time, this word will make it into the "New English Words" list and in
ten years, this will likely make it into the Webster Dictionary.
Imagine a Goanet contribution to the e-net vocabulary while honoring a Goan for
an innovation.
Regards, GL
