Dear Veronica, 1) Should we stop trusting all people with these surnames? Mario asks: Veronica, surely you can't be serious. Please reconsider your firm opinion. Indicting, nay convicting, entire families in the court of public opinion? You can't do that without becoming part of whatever problem you are accusing them of. Are these entire families running around physically assaulting people? Or are they simply excercising their freedom of speech? Without knowing any of them I am willing to bet they are entirely trustworthy, regardless of how objectionable their opinions may be.

This is my firm opinion. -- Dear Veronica, 1) Should we stop trusting all people with these surnames? 2) Can you provide us with a list of surnames that identify trustworthy people? 3) Is it a coincidence that the surnames you mention are also the surnames of stalwarts of the Konkani movement? 4) Your attacks on the English language are well appreciated. But surely there must be some better way of advancing the Konkani cause rather than just by attacking English the way you do in your writings. Cheers! Cecil __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
