Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:07:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Mervyn Lobo <[email protected]> Secondly, I must have deleted Mario's email without reading it. It seems strange that there are restrictions only for Cuban Americans. Whats next Restrictions only for Goan Americans?? Mario observes: This is a great example of why Goanet needs someone like myself who can be a voice for reason, truth and peace. Here we see Mervyn confirm that he was in such a hurry to be critical that he responded to my email without even reading it. Then we see that even after reading it, he still gets it wrong. So, let me try again. The previous restrictions on dealings with Cuba were on ALL Americans. Now certain restrictions are being lifted only for Cuban Americans. No restrictions are being contemplated for Goan Americans. Memo to Goanet: I had to add the last sentence to try and give certain members as little chance as possible to misinterpret what is going on.
