Well, I'll be darned!!!  Bosco actually responded to the CONTENTS of a post, 
and what's more, he found TWO errors in my list of 12 points!   Will miracles 
never cease:-))

Thanks, Bosco!  Good job!  I hope you will continue to restrict yourself to 
commenting on the contents of posts in future.

My Mallu friend seems to have gotten carried away and I did not take the time 
to fact check.

I stand corrected on these two points and will say another Rosary, and fast and 
meditate as self imposed penance.  The Goan crab priest may throw the book at 
me if I go back to him.

Now, if Bosco would acknowledge some well-known facts about the Canadian health 
care system we might get an honest perspective from Canadian residents and not 
have to rely entirely on Canadian leadership physicians and Canadian health 
care experts.  Then we can discuss how to really solve our respective health 
care systems.

Gabe is absolutely correct.  Goans are busy building Goa up into an Indian 
version of the Bahamas:-))

http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-August/181084.html

So, I apologize to all the Mallu-hating Goan crabs who took pious umbrage at my 
unfortunate mention of Keralites who had achieved high positions in India, and 
I'm told are also invading Goa:-))  Mea maxima culpa.

It's called Kerala-Thoughts. I'm part of it too, though not as a very active
spammer.

I must confess though, nobody has as yet suspected me of being a Goan or
told me not to post there :-) One of my friends there V. Sasi Kumar is as

Really brilliant. Claims to 'intelligence' I have never made. After all, I
was the original class duffer!

I have not chosen to rebut any thing posted by the cut and paste and forward
artist because this is typically the stuff one would find forwarded by some
Mallu.

BTW, I thought that Goanet was a GOAN forum. I suppose the Mallus have their
own forum.

Suggestion:  Mallu lovers can take a hike from goanet and join the Mallu
forum.

Call this crab mentality or lobster mentality or what you may

just about any conclusion... FN

a hardworking and smart bunch. But I guess others have diverse
qualities too, depending on what criteria one uses to judge 'em.

Mario responds:

Conclusion?  What conclusion?  What selective facts?  Was the list in error?  
Is there a list of similar caliber for Goans, or Maharashtrians, or Punjabis or 
Bengalis or other Indians?  I'd be glad to salute them as well.

I know India is fragmented but this is ridiculous.

Did you see Tony's "intelligent" comment above?  He couldn't rebut anything 
specific in my post, so he throws a grenade and runs.

Has the crab mentality now reached the point where we cannot celebrate the 
achievements of some fellow Indians without one bilious Goanetter tearing down 
their state with a barrage of cow cakes and baseless innuendo, sprinkled with 
some trademark falsehoods, or being somewhat defensive as your comments may 
indicate?

My post made no judgment about Goans or anyone else, and the title I used, 
while a tad hyperbolic, was not too far off based on the positions achieved by 
these Keralites on the list.

Besides, if one is to believe some of the posts on Goanet and letters in the 
Herald, Goa is a lost cause of lawlessness and corruption:
http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-August/181946.html

Are the crabs ever going to do something constructive for Goa?  Bashing 
Keralites is not how to do it.
