Goanet highlights by Selma Carvalho

          Valmiki Faleiro takes a fresh look at what brought
          the Portuguese to Goa and the contribution of Goans
          in the Indian Armed forces, in an article titled,
          Portuguese Crosses, Indian swords and Goans.

Recently a Godfrey Pereira wrote an essay titled, A letter to
the Bleddy Goans from an East Indian bugger. Rarely has a
post created such a maelstrom of a response from Goans on
Goanet. While some deplored Godfrey's salty language,
others argued his points are well founded.

          Another topic which stoked controversy was
          JoeGoaUK, a long-time, regular contributor to
          Goanet, documenting life in Goa through his photo
          essays. In recent times, the issues of anonymity
          and copyright have come into focus. There is the
          question of accountability but is this to be
          balanced against the beneficial services the person
          maybeproviding to the community. Here were some
          views shared.
