Hi Elisabeth, The Goanet administration encourages new members to initially spend some time seeing how the Goanet process works. Yet they do not give any specifics. Here is a HUMOROUS rendition of how the system operates.
There are several self-appointed professors on Goanet. A few of them believe they are the god-appointed authority on a specific issue. Cross the line on that subject, these ayatollahs will be awaken from their usual docile existence. A few of course have a "short fuse". If one tries to push the line further, the otherwise pleasant ayatollahs are not hesitant at issuing a fatwa. Fortunately these Goan ayatollahs do not have a following. Hence, there is nobody to carry out the fatwa. They themselves are too susegad to engage is such physical activities. So the Goan issued fatwas, unlike the real fatwas, are water (filtered through the kidneys) with no vinegar. That's how exciting it gets on Goanet! You should learn to ignore the "Kator Ree Bhaji" posts. Or you will be wasting your neurons and sending your blood pressure way high. So feel free to use your Delete button freely. On a serious note, welcome to Goanet. Pick a niche topic based on your profession or your interests and educate the rest of us on your favorite subject. Thus, you will soon become an ayatollah yourself and then enjoy the company of Goan's self-styled creme de la creme. :=)) These are some suggestions from a still-aspiring ayatollah.
