Dear GoaNetters:
Early this month, during one of my idle moments, I stumbled upon the subject
"goannonresident group" Yahoo! Groups site and signed up online as the sixth
member of the "goannonresidents" Yahoogroups on July 3, 2002:
"This is a group for Goans who are not resident in Goa or worldwide Goans to
discuss Goan issues and perhaps to help some Goans living in Goa to get a job
abroad if possible."

I am sorry for holding you'll captive in the silly drama played out during
the first two weeks of July and provide the above background information so
that all you intelligent Netters may come to a just conclusion based upon
informed facts.
Following this e-mail is a sequence of postings and the baseless escalation
by dubitable Moderator(s).
The most unfortunate part of this entire episode, is the skillful and sly
carpet-bagging
by some loudmouths from other goon forums. They revel in selectively splicing
remarks from Goanet or other posts, and routinely playing out their games
against others -- thus denigrating and slandering people behind their backs
:(
It is a pity that rival groups are permitted to snoop, exploit and blemish
the reputation of people who post on Goanet, etc., with impunity. They
selectively scoop saucy bits and pieces and cross-post disparagingly :(
These despicable practices are a source of disdain for people from other
forums who just cannot mind their own business and learn to live and let live.

This Sunday, the group will be TWO YEARS young :)
And, there were only two postings -- one this month and one in June :(
Can I challenge you ALL, especially the Moderator, to do their best?
Even if each of us attempted two postings a month, there'll be a baker's
dozen by July 7, 2003!
Any takers?
God Bless:

Why don't you reveal your name, as the List Moderator?
The yahoogroups site lists the list moderator listed as Las Viegas.
Will you have the courtesy of explaining how I was "acting too smart?"
What do you think I am up to? I have communicated in plain English.

A response was posted by me to the above, but the goaworldtoday list
moderator has still not come out in the open and disclosed her/his
name or had the courtesy to respond :(
Who's acting SMART NOW?
Why can't the Goaworldtoday "List moderator" respond?
It is senseless to make brash statements and then recoil as a
nameless person alleging to be the List Moderator :(
Is this some new Goaworldtoday List Moderator's Tactic?

Dear Ms. Goaworldtoday:
Out of respect for ladies, I will not resort to name calling as you've chosen
to :(
I don't know who you are, but my name is Pat -- I am NOT BAT. I ain't a
nameless character like you.
Since you deliberately choose to remain nameless and have not responded to my
questions, I will not dignify you with a response.
However, I am also sending this to the GoaNet Admin. Team for disposition.
