Considering the evidence presented in Floriano's response, as the distinction that should be made with Goan, builder, Goan builder, etc., a response is needed in good spirit--something simple and perhaps decent as: One/We is/are pleased to take your response as a reminder that distinctions must be made, and happy to know that Petition # 832 went in your favor. (Add whatever else is pertinent and what the ones spirit summons).

I am also a GOAN. It is encouraging that you trust people like me 'even less' to Rajan's 'Technicalities will land you in court, and once the > matter lands in the courts, the builders win." I too, being the Goan builder was hauled up in the High Court in Writ Petition No. 862 ... Paul Mendes aka Dayanand Narvekar V/s Floriano Lobo. And I, being the builder and also being a Goan builder, naturally won. The Petition was thrown out. My building had even made rounds in the Goa Legislative Assembly courtesy Ex-Finance Minister, Dayanand Narvekar. Still, I won. Because I am a Goan builder, that has to be trusted even less. :-) Cheers floriano goasuraj 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org (DEL)
