as it is completed. But in order to begin the next critical phase of the study I need to ask all the active Goanet contributors for a favor. Could you please do the following for me from now on, i.e. as soon as you read this post on Goanet? Whenever you forward or post something to Goanet, could you kindly cc it to me at the following email address? [email protected] Please do so each time even if you post the same thing multiple times. I would really appreciate your indulgence in this project of mine, which would hopefully give us a deeper insight into the Goan internet community. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Santosh, I wish someone had come up with this idea earlier. I have always felt that my best replies to Goanet were the ones that never made it to the forum as they were rejected by the Goanet administrators. As a bonus, I will introduce you to the Tanzanite Goan forum. It is completely unmoderated and, if ever, you may get just one nasty post in a year. That nasty post, 100% guaranteed, will be from a person who has never lived in Tanzania. As for the sociological aspect of Goanet, people have been mining and will be mining in the future all the posts that did make it through. Research, if not already completed, will be obtained from what is on the public domain. Mankind will use every little bit of info on its relentless study into the knowledge of human social activity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociology Mervyn1219Lobo
