Dear Eddie Bab,
Thanks for your quick response. I am not questioning your recent 11 new proverbs � they are new to us on Goanet and were not included in the list that was compiled by you and posted on Goanet on October 20, 2003. This list contained 315 proverbs which many of us contributed - my contribution was 132 proverbs. What I am interested to know is whether the 150 Konkani proverbs and sayings included in Tony Fernandes� book are new (by him) or if they are from our above mentioned list that was posted on Goanet for free consumption of Goanetters.

Dear Domnic Bab,
I have compiled all the proverbs which were posted on Goanet last year, and also circulated to some of the goanetters who requested me. There are about 334 proverbs in this file, and these are new ones which I added to the file. I have not read Tony's book, and these are definately not from his book. Regards Eddie Verdes Jeddah?KSA

Thanks to Eddie for posting more Konkani proverbs on Goanet.
On Saturday, May 29, 2004 George Pinto posted Tony Fernandes� email on Goanet in which he announced the release of Tony's book entitled "Goa: Memories of My Homeland". One of the highlights of the book is that it contains 150 Goan proverbs and sayings. Are these new proverbs and sayings, or are they the ones that we posted on Goanet last year?
