Only just saw this, so I'm responding now.

* I can only compile a list; it's not my job to ensure efficiency! Please
note...

* It's easy to curse the darkness; can we light a candle? Agreed that the
list was compiled sometime in 2010-11 and hence needs updating. If anyone
gets to know of any new numbers, can you please share it?

* There is a certain amount of village inertia (or even inefficiency) when
it comes to accessing services. This is not a city. (Thank goodness!) It
takes longer than expected to get a job done. I would sometimes have to
badger more than once to get a repair-man over. But nonetheless, I am
grateful that they do it with a smile and often in a friendly manner, after
a long chat about life and everything around us! Even their overcharging I
can sometimes put up with, because one can appreciate that doing this work
can indeed be a tough job specially for the Small Guy.

* The simple answer to "who gave you my number" would be "I got it from the
book on Saligao/Saligao-Net" as the case might be :-)

Btw, it should be Salmona, not Salmona vaddo, I think. FN
