As a moderator of the Goa Writers group I would like to clarify. 1) Nandakumar Kamat has never posted anything, poetry or otherwise, to Goa Writers.
2) The archives of the Goa Writers discussion group are private and accessible only to members. 3) Margaret Mascarenhas is not a member of the Goa Writers group. Therefore the very first line of the long argument below is blatantly false. As for the rest I will comment in my personal capacity. This posting is only to clarify and in my capacity as moderator of the Goa Writers group. Cheers!

MARGARET MASCARENHAS ON THE FUNDING DEBATE, IN THE US AND HERE Regarding Nandkumar Kamat's sanctimonious attempts at poetry for the GoaWriters list: I have addressed the issue of corporate funding for the arts when Hartman d'Sousa made the same attempt at undermining (no pun intended) Sunaparanta -- which is a non-profit that funds several charitable pilot projects in the arts conceived and created by myself, Deviprasad C Rao and Swatee Kotwal -- in order to gain mileage for the anti-mining issue. ---------------
