Dear Victor,
I understand you and others who want civil debate and discussion on GoaNet, but I am also intrigued by why one does not see mass un-subscribe requests, if indeed this was as bad a place as it is made out to be. Just today I read a quote comparing Hollywood and Bollywood that rings a bell.
Think of a supermarket and bazaar. At a supermarket everything is neatly organised and you can get exactly what you want. In a bazaar everything is noisy and messy and prices can always be negotiated. There's plenty of heat and dust and loud noises.
Perhaps GoaNet is like a noisy bazaar? It is as important as a supermarket. And definitely more colourful and exciting. And people visit both, don't they?
