Fred, That is what makes Goanet so interesting, not the enemies I mean, just the 10 Goans and 12 opinions.
In that, we are almost like the Bengalis. I don't know enough about history to state with any certainty that we are derived from the same stock, but there are credible historical theories about the derivation. Goanet embraces such a wide spectrum - from the most inane to the most intelligent - that one would not find it easy to get such a divergence of opinion on any other forum that consists of a bunch of people ostensibly of the same background. Goans themselves, if you think of it, are representative of so many backgrounds and personality types, that I am tempted to identify, in a humorous vein, each of those personalities and their multitudinous facets and let readers say "aah, that is me". By the way Patrice is such an interesting person from the article you have written, we would be privileged to have him join us in full vigor on this forum.
