August 25, 2009 - Goanet's 15th Anniversary
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very sad news indeed - I had the chance to exchange emails with him several
times
and his articles were extremely well researched and appreciated worldwide.
I guess it's now up to all other concerned Goans to continue his mission - to
inquiry into the darker aspects of the (utterly unnecessary) Mopa airport
project,
the restoration of Dabolim's legal civilian status etc.
Best,
