Dears Unbeknownst to you a whirlwind of correspondence is being generated in cyberspace by current or ex - goanetters. Participants in, or at least recipients of, this e-correspondence includes the following worthies:
J. Colaco < jc> <[email protected]> > "Mario Goveia" <[email protected] > > "marlon menezes" <[email protected]>, "Sandeep Heble" < [email protected]>, "Bhandare" <[email protected]>, "anand virgincar" <[email protected]>, "fr ivo d'souza" <[email protected]>, "Santosh gmail" <[email protected]>, "frederick rico noronha goanet" < [email protected]>, "Cecil Pinto" <[email protected]>, [email protected], "Eric Pinto" <[email protected]>, "Floriano Lobo" <[email protected]>, "augusto pinto" <[email protected]>, "rajan parrikar" <[email protected]>, [email protected], "xanno moidekar" <[email protected]>, "george pinto goanet" < [email protected]>, "CORNEL DACOSTA" <[email protected]>, [email protected], "valmiki faleiro" <[email protected]>, "anil desai" <[email protected]>, "Miguel Braganza" <[email protected]> Besides these there also were a few others like Selma Carvalho, Vidyadhar Gadgil and Francis Rodrigues who had also been c.c. - ed but wanted to be left out as they did not appreciate their lnboxes being flooded with unwanted mail. What are these guys writing about? Don't ask me because although their droppings constantly crop up in my inbox I barely bother to check the stuff. It is so unspeakably boring. Oh well if you must know, it started off by containing some remnants of the Fr Ivo - Dr Santosh medico-religious poop and otherwise continued with the vomit and sputum that some of the above like to shower upon one another on goanet. Some think this is a form of male bonding. Boring though the stuff is, it struck me as an interesting way of bypassing the moderators of a largish mailing list like goanet, who may or may not be fair in their adjudications of what should pass as worthy of being featured on the list they control. The advantage of such c.c. - lists, or what Lord Frederick says is a Spammer's List, is that the language can be freer and one can get one's message to a target audience who know one another well (well, more or less) without annoying those who might tune in to a regular mailing list (like goanet) for some information and who may not quite appreciate the argumentativeness and cussedness of some of the regulars, howsoever amusing or boring that may be. Anyway I was curious to know whether such e-behaviour is common or whether this happens to be the invention of some of our frustrated ex - goanetters. Maybe someone could do a Ph.D on this stuff. It wouldn't do harm to have another Dotor among us - what say?
