If it's a nuisance to some, it's probably beneficial to some others. It's obvious we have these messages because Goans in droves are headed to Goa and even those that are not headed to Goa will get insights into how the travel agents are operating. Having said that those posting the fares from England to Goa are giving the travel agents free airplay on Goanet !! That's not going unnoticed !! > NRI dual nationality surely cannot be considered off topic. +++ I agree.....and the Indian Govt. will continue procrastinating. > Hospital Conditions in the UK was only raised in relation to those in India and was interesting even if there was no DIRECT relation to Goa. +++ It does have a direct relation to discussions here on Goanet wherein points of view were shared that the hospitals in Goa are a "basket-case". There are varied subjects that interest different individuals on this forum. And different individuals will continue to write about those issues that they feel strongly about. In the case of longtime Goanetters it is evident where most stand on some issues. It is also evident that silent and 1-time posters get intimitated with the responses from the stalwarts of this forum. Are we not supposed to be encouraging fellow Goans to write instead of scaring them away with overwhelming responses ?? We should instead be encouraging a diverse number of subjects and points of view. I maybe mistaken but I think Gabe has raised the issue only because Fred had included a qualifier at the start of his message that was not necessary (in my opinion). I think Goanetters as participants on this forum would and should decide about what is in their interest to write about, whether it's (in)directly related to Goa. What constitutes directly or indirectly related to Goa is intangible and will be based on individual points of view.....For some of us the DELETE button is our only recourse.
