Ignoring the inconsequential emotional remarks in the rest of Rajan's latest post, in the above excerpt, he appears to be confused about the meaning of the words unique and identity! It should be obvious to anybody that there is nothing unique about being part of a mailing list whose members have some association with your place of birth, and there is nothing unique about being born in any place on earth. We also know that the 10,000 or so members of Goanet have tens, if not hundreds, of different identities. Now, as for what he says below, we know that no Kannadiga, Bihari, Andhra or Tamilian has ever been laughed out of town on Goanet, despite being abused by a few Goans like Rajan who happen to believe that they are unique. Cheers, Santosh P.S. I ask Rajan to tell me what similarities (in their many identities) does he see between him and Arwin when he zooms his camera on them, and why is he more different from Vidyadhar than from Arwin. --- On Wed, 8/13/08, Rajan P.
