Fred,
Where is Walter now, and how can I get in touch with him? I
remember him well, he was still with J. Walter Thompson when I became
Copy Chief. Very bright, very dynamic.

Dear Xavier,
Lea and I feel as enriched by our circle of friends as you may
feel by our friendship. In one way or another, all of us make our own
distinctive contribution to society and to humanity at large; it so
happens that I've had more opportunities than most, and have been

Thanks, George, you're not doing too badly yourself! AND you have a
lifetime ahead of you!
Warm regards,

Mr/Ms V. Gadgil, who objects to news of Leander Paes' activities, obviously
is unaware that Leander Paes is a Goan playing world-class tennis, and as such
his successes are of intense interest to Goans such as myself.

Here we are again, fellow Goanetters, not discussing issues that raised
so much heat and dust in the past, and once again some of us are
throwing dirt at the others. "You are this" and "You are that" and who
knows what else.
When will some of us ever stop throwing stones at other people?

We could get working on it, Fred. But if we could identify the exact

Dear Santosh,
I hope you continue to debate issues with all your usual
intellectual vigour; just avoid getting involved in the personal slurs

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
To all my fellow Goanetters,
You and I are far less likely to be pricked by an infected needle
left on a train seat than we are to be pricked by a verbal needle in a
Goanet post. Somehow, many of us cannot resist inserting an insulting
word into an apparently innocent message.

Dear Rebecca O'Leary,
Please accept my thanks for your well-reasoned and cogent
response. Although I am a Goan, and for most of my life have maintained
close ties with the land of my birth, one of the main reasons I joined
