Dear Herman, your team of dedicated administrators and all Gonetters, CONGRATULATIONS and A BIG THANK YOU! Yes, GoaNet and Goanetters have achieved a lot during the past year and throughout its 16 years of existence. May the spirit of freedom of opinion coupled with harmonious compassion continue to prevail on GoaNet!
Dear Herman, Let me thank you for your kind words about my wife VIVIAN MARRONE COELHO. "This year we were sad to see Viviana Coelho retire. Viviana volunteered with Goanet for about 12 years and was an invaluable part of the team. We thank Viviana and wish her all the success and happiness life has to offer." Dear Goanetters, I hope you will not mind if I use this forum to express my appreciation of my wife's selfless and compassionate dedication to GoaNet and Goanetters. Though a non-Goan, Vivian went out of her way to be an impartial moderator and a dedicated administrator on GoaNet for 12 years! I'm aware of the many struggles she experienced as she moderated a variety of opinions. I'm proud of her generous service to the cause of Goanetters and GoaNet! Let me also express my thanks to Fred Noronha, Bosco D'Mello and other administrators of GoaNet who are keeping the flame of Goan freedom of expression burning bright! May they be blessed with wisdom and compassion as they moderate a variety of experiences and expressions. May their tribe increase!
