'FN' writes: 'Hi Selma, You haven't responded to the issues raised in my earlier post. ' Re: Mogall 'FN', could you please 're-raise' the 'issues' for our benefit? 'FN':- 'Instead, you're offering episodic evidence, to make a wider point... RE: What, dear 'FN', is the evidence offered by Ms Selma, and what is "episodic" evidence? To make what wider point has she offered it? Excuse us, but we fail to follow up the invisible references to some abstract 'debate' here between 'FN' and Selma. 'FN':- 'In my view, you've also highlighted just a fragment from my earlier post, to duck the wider issues I've raised. Please don't trivialise such important debates. (Though I wouldn't blame you if you turned around and said the same thing to me to, given my attitude sometimes.)' Re: hay 'FN' are you serious about all this? "trivialise", "important"...hmm.. You ARE funny Mr.'FN' (The word funny is used in the American sence and is supposed to be a compliment) 'FN':-'With due respect to your global experience,' RE: (Dear Selma, now that's a jab, that's snide...Don't be provoked into this "important" debate!) 'FN':- 'and your humourously-crafted logic', Re: How do you 'craft' humorously 'FN'? Is there a special tool or something? Isn't craft a kin to Art? Where was that in what Selma wrote? I thought she was hammering with little care. 'FN':- I think part of it is just meant to distract our mail/male readers, RE: That's an accusation! (Selma, do go for him!) 'FN':- 'while not substantially taking forward the crux of the matter -- the often-ignored relationship between expats and Goa. RE:- Who has ignored the realities? 'Expats' or the 'Inpats' if I may use that conveniently? 'FN':-I'm not blaming anyone here; just trying to highlight what I see as the ignored realities. RE:- Good boy Frederick Noronha! Try Staedler highlighters. They highlight better. 'FN':-'You can't see this region of 1.4 million only with holidayers' specs!' Re: What other specs do you get in the market? 3D? Virtual vision? (whatever that is!) 'FN':- 'We expect better from someone as insightful as you' Re: I thought You were the 'in'sighter, while Selma was the 'out'sighter. Mog assundi, as they would say at BMX. FN RE:- "Ragar-fugar zai naka muzia bhava!", is what I say as they say all over Goa. (I mean that dear friends) Charudatta Prabhudesai, Khoro Goinkar! _________________________________________________________________ Catch the complete World Cup coverage with MSN http://content.msn.co.in/Sports/Cricket/Default.aspx ------------------------------------------------------- Goanet recommends, and is proud to be associated with, 'Domnic's Goa' - A nostalgic romp through a bygone era.
