Dear Mario, For reasons, I will elaborate on a little later, I wish not to get into this debate. Upfront, I want to clear something which I have neither said nor insinuated but like so many things get convoluted on Goanet.
Nowhere have I said or implied that Cecil spams me with private mails. Infact, let me state clearly that he does not. Lots of mails get into my spam folder, Mario, including yours. How my email decides which mail goes into spam and which is worth reading, I do not know. All I can say, is it saves me the bother. Now, the reason I don't wish to get into this debate because, it has become the custom on Goanet, a sort of tradition in keeping with the lunar cycle, to lampoon someone or the other every time there is a full moon. This full-moon, the chosen sacrificial goat is of course Frederick Noronha. Maybe it's slim pickings out there. In keeping with this custom, a group of men who seem wordily-wise will gather and create a conspiracy so great and chiseled, even Ian Fleming would have been impressed. Before we know it, not only is the efficiency of the person called into question, based on his political leanings but his moral efficacy as well. Pretty soon, we shall hear that FN has hatched a plot in collusion with the Chinese to systematically stem out right-wing ideology from Goanet. I have no wish to join this lunar-festivity on Goanet. To FN, I can only say this too will pass. Soon, these men will tire of this game. I'm only sorry that your reputation will get dragged through the mud while they are at it. It is easy to forget the 14 years of hard-work you have dedicated to this site. It's also easy to forget that you are one person who is always there to help someone out, should that person need your help. Not that I'm trying to canonizing you or anything, but there it is, for what it's worth. Take care, selma ------------------------ --- On Sun, 9/28/08, Mario Goveia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I don't know about the rest of Goanetters but I > would never take the word of a Cecil Pinto against that of > fine man > > like Frederick Noronha > >
