 Dear Cecil,
   Thanks for the clarification. Yours is an
 extraordinary talent, 
 and it won't be long before you are a true shining
 light in Goan literature, and not just in Goan 
 literature. All the more reason for you to be 
 scrupulous (but delightfully undecorous) in 
 observing the niceties of debate.
   I've been reading aloud your recent Konkani
 lesson no. 1 to friends and relatives. It's true 
 comic material, and would be a smash hit if used in
 a tiatr. Ever thought of that?


Victor,
Nice to see an author encourage a budding one.
Cecil also does his part to get others to write. A few
weeks ago he donated a prize for a writing competition
here on Goanet. 

When I informed him I entered for the fun and not the
prize, he told me that he insisted on keeping his part
of the promise. 

So two days ago, I asked him to send the prize to my
Aunt in Goa, for her birthday. The flowers, from
EXPRESSIONS :-) were delivered within a few hours to
her home.

Here is the link to the photo.

 Dear Victor,
 It is always a pleasure to read your rare but relevant postings on 
GoaNet. I have often replied privately but have never got a response 
and thought of you as being rude. Only recently Margaret Mascarenhas 
informed me that your service provider, AOL, does not accept messages 
from Sancharnet.

Just a couple of points I would like to clarify:
-
Victor:
For example, the recent extended debate on abuse is said to have
 brought some worms out of the woodwork! Rebecca O'Leary (no cousin 
or
godchild of mine) got involved, and had some things to say that needed
saying; I got involved as well. Neither Ms. O'Leary nor I are regular
posters on Goanet, so the two of us must count ourselves among the
worms. Or is one to be considered more wormlike than the other?

Cecil:
 I do not know much about different species of worms but rest assured 
my characterization of lurkers as 'worms in the wood work' was nothing 
but an extension of Rebecca's description of herself being lured out of 
the 'woodwork'. No offense was intended.

--
Victor:
The point that I am trying to make is that there should be
civility in all our debates. In ALL of them, and in every part of each
debate. I don't care who started the mudslinging---the person who has
 mud flung at him, and then flings mud back, also winds up having mud 
on
his hands.

Cecil:
I totally agree with you.
