The additions are mine and mine only and forwarded to Cecil Pinto an Miguel Braganza in highlighted form. It was meant to be a very private post. Basically it was meant as FRIENDLY SNIDE Regret the misunderstand. Therefore, kindly disregard.

Secondly, it is an error to go into print when one is not fully prepared. A HARD copy of anything should be made when one knows his bedfellows. " SO WHATS THE BOTTOM LINE?" on page 3 of the IGO date Oct.19 reads thus," Every individual who contributes Rs.1000/- or more will be assured of a free copy of the IGO for one year."Period. An undefined "promoter" has this facility for three years in lieu of his neck and reputation and collateral damage. Now enter the 'subscriber'...who gets the cake...and flowers for being a fool. [ Like the Dukor Khaire 'cristaos', who thought the Portuguese colonialists favoured them and have not yet realised that none of the big land owners in the erstwhile Estada da India Portuguesa, and the present day Goa......Ranes, Prabhudessais,Dessais, Dempos, Timblos, Salgaokars, Chowgules or Deshprabhus....are actually from amongst them. The poor Conde de Mayem,Dr.Wolfango da Silva,lived to see his property[county?] being evacuated on my the new tenant-owners...and his wife died trying to retrieve it. Even the wiley Dr.Willy could not help her...a widow in obvious distress. What you eat,you become. The recipe for sorpatel,soroptel,saraptel,or sarapatel is available in the recent archives of goanet...along with various references to its etymology!] And lastly,the Hard copy says it is a preview. Rajan's post says it is * not as a preview*,*sample preview copies *,*sample preview print editions* ,etc. Is he just having a ball of a time...or is IGO a "no ball" ? Cecil, I did not know Rajan would want to use Expressions to send a Rs.150/- cake with [Rs.300/- worth ?] basket of flowers to the IGO subscribers in a Rs.450/-[all inclusive package] of 52 IGOs[worth nothing,as per the package?]. Expressions or Temptations ?And did IGO take your permission to use the name of "Expressions" in their promotional material ? Nice to see IGO with a goacom ID...like the Goa Today. Perhaps, Alexandre M.Barbosa and Dr.Joe D'Souza will join IGO part time. Same brand of journalism...provocative, even if inaccurate. Viva Goa.

We have been doing this,* not as a preview* of how the Independent Goa Observer will finally look like. We can assure you that raising funds from businessmen towards promoter's capital has not been easy. We have not been able to dress up and make the *sample preview copies *as pretty as many of you would like to see it. Not because we do not have a commitment to excellence, but because we believe that excellence is expensive. We are being sustained now by the hundreds of small people from retired pensioners to junior resident doctors to even students. When the Independent Goa Observer is formally launched, we assure you that it will look as sleek and well designed as any other tabloid newspaper in the country. In the meanwhile, if lipstick and mascara and rouge are more important to you than content, you will just have to wait a while. And the sooner you being participating, the faster we will be able to give you the kind of prerogative that you expect. And of course, we will do Parrikar bashing. We have been bringing out the *sample preview print editions* only to maintain continuity. Because, human memory is very brief. And we do not want to go through the whole business of resurrecting ourselves from scratch. What do you get if you invest Rs.1000 or multiples thereof? What do you get if you subscribe to the Independent Goa Observer? � One-year subscription -You get 52 copies at Rs.10 of the value of Rs.520 for Rs.450 delivered to you at home. You get a free birthday cake for one member of your family on his or her birthday of the value Rs.150 (worm free ofcourse, *possibly* with a lovely basket of flowers and your picture taken courtessy *Cecil Pinto's EXPRESSIONS flower boutique*) � Two year subscription - Rs.900 instead of the cover price of Rs.1040 You also get dinner coupon for two at a wide range of restaurants of the value of Rs.400 � Three year subscription - Rs.1200 instead of the cover price of Rs.1560. One night stay including all meals (no liquor) for two at a wide range of three star resorts (The kitchens and the underside of the beds, entire walls and insides of cabinets and * shelfs* will be inspected *forehand* for bugs of the live as well as electronic kind so that you do not land up in GMC with jaundice or on the world porno screens doing things you do not like others to see) ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
