Folks,
This is the man I admired the most on Goanet.
Jorge de Abreu Noronha knew all the facts. He took pains to point out some
common mistakes made on things Goan. He also knew obscure facts and pointed
them out when anyone made an error.
He did this patiently on Goanet for the past ten years.
The only reason I can think of on why Jorge Noronha did all this is, because of
love i.e. his love for Goa and all things Goan. His knowledge was encyclopedic
and now he is not with us.
His passing away is going to be painful, very painful to many here.
