Dr S, Thanks for your query. While most members of this list would like to see it functioning smoothly, a very tiny minority (no naming names, again) seem intent to have it bogged down in controversy, infighting, name-calling, insinuation, bitterness and what-not. For our part, the admin has a thankless job of trying to ensure smooth working of this network, while those indulging in the above categories of communication insist on their 'freedom of speech'. What is particularly galling is to see fake-identities being used to echo the very same ideas circulated elsewhere on Goa-related mailing lists being recycled here (though with more vituperation... the make-believe identities provide illusory cover). I would personally apologise to readers of Goanet, for all they have put up with in the past few days. Needless to say, all of us at Goanet would like to see this network play its role, as an instrument to take all Goans forward. This is an appeal to all well-intentioned persons to kindly avoid the trap being set by a handful of persons with dubious intents. Thanking you for your patience.
