As Goanet completes 20 years this year, we go down memory lane and to
some of the charming posts that made waves through the yesteryears.
Cecil Sequeira sent me this story, and it took a some googling to
realise that it had actually been a Goanet Reader post on Feb 28, 2011

Okay, if you'll tolerate some foolish questions then:
* Why do wise men read what the fools say?

soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and
charm and gaiety to life and to everything."

This about sums up contributions to Goanet:
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they
have to say something.

To echo Merwyn's concern we need to "clean" up Goanet. He has put the onus
on the moderators, but we are all responsible. Goanet was a robust forum
those days and Cornel did engage himself in a verbal duel, "gated" or not.

surely Mervyn can do it, as he has shown in the past too.

I dont know how the majority of netters feel about this forum. To me,

There are possibly only two persons capable of doing a worthy job of

Goa's media and besides the administrator of the list for a long time, or

In our free and democratic world, the goanet story is indeed unique in the
sense that it is the sitting room in our global village giving our people the
opportunity to discuss and share matters at a speed of light. I agree with

Someone wrote to me today: "I think somebody should write a book on the
Goanet story. Or maybe you could compile an anthology. It"s given rise to
loads of talent, writers, books and whatnot. Think about it."
To be fair, it has also given rise to some enmities, disagreements,
bitterness and fights.
