Roland, You forget for how long Goanet has been going. It completes 25 next year (1994-2019). In fact, its silver jubilee year starts this September (or is it August?)
Simple arithmetic: a 35-year-old who started off in 1994 (I joined in 1995) would be a 60-year-old today. The only exception is Herman Carneiro, founder of Goanet. As anyone who knows Goanetlore would know, he was 17 when it was started... and still remains Goanet's most eligible bachelor. FN PS: Rumour has it that Goanet was started as a matchmaking service for young expat Goan males. The biggest success was James and Sharon Almeida (despite Marlon's mischevious suggestion about using technology for the wedding). PPS: Those who forget their history are bound to get their arithmetic wrong.
