What follows is a serialised 3-part story of a recent debate at Goanet. It was carried in the ?Herald? (Goa) editions between May 8-10, 2009. Happy reading, but if you?re threatened with martyrdom from boredom, please don?t click ?DELETE? before you?ve read the last four Paras at the bottom ? they?re gist of the rigmarole that preceded! Rgds, v Mario responds: Valmiki, Saiba boggus! I would never hit DELETE for a vintage Valmiki essay. Besides, that would hardly help because such an indiscretion would still haunt me from the eternal Goanet archives:-)) Because of the warning above, I scanned the first few paras to get the gist and then went straight to the fourth para from the end. I swear I really tried to follow what was going on. Unfortunately, I fell asleep after the second para from the end, but not before I understood with appreciation the promotional value of this essay for Goanet, which is described as "...the largest internet forum of Goans worldwide" Wow! I wonder if that's why people stood up and applauded when I entered Rio Rico last February? Naaah! I must be dreaming:-)) I promise I will have to finish reading this stimulating article as soon as I wake up, sometime tomorrow, perhaps, or maybe if I cannot fall asleep tonight might be a good time:-)) Oh, shoot! I inadvertantly hit the DELETE button. Thank God for the archives:-))
