Hmm!
EUREKA!
Just realised,... majority are "Silent" Readers/Netters
How are you doing Quentin? Nice to see you on the NET. I loved reading your
last para although you might be a teeny weeny bit wrong there, I am sure it
is more than a handful who work quietly for the good of us all & for Saligao
in particular, let alone Goa .......- but could we leave off the rest of the
"a bit harsh words" & adjectives?
Never say never.....Even sitting back, we are making mistakes, make no
mistake about that ....oops! I'm repeating words now - ha ha! ....it is the
season of peace & goodwill & all that.... guess we all get carried away when
we read in print which if said to us face to face we would ignore & laugh it
off or would converse & agree to disagree.
Season's Greetings

I too am a silent reader, Alan I'm glad you did not say anything before the
fact and in my opinion you should have kept mum after the fact.
Alan wake up and smell the coffee. Lap Top a luxury ( in India )
????????? India is one of the world leaders in computer technology today.
Even an illiterate ( who can't spell computer or even know anything about
it ) coming from phoren to India is not questioned about bringing in a lap
top and may have more trouble with dress pieces etc.......
I was not fortunate to meet or know Fr. Nasciment but really enjoyed his
postings and look forward to him getting back on line.
Whether Dr Kevin Saldanha knows what the cost of a lap top is IS NOT THE
POINT, whether Dr. Kevin Saldanha is a Veterinarian and not a "wet doctor"
( give the devil credit for his achievements ) IS NOT THE POINT.
THE POINT IS HE OPENLY WITH OTHERS BEHIND THE SCENE DARED TO DO
SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE.
I do not know the Goa you come from, but I am ashamed to say in the Goa
I come from the vast majority of us are crabs. We pull down anyone who
tries to do something constructive. Alan, like me I think we left India to
enjoy the fruit of others labour. What have we done to support the likes of
Mario, Muriel, Nicholas, FN, Dean and all the others striving for another
and better Goa ?
The crabs far out do the cons in Goa, that is why it is an uphill battle
for those who dare to do some good.
Yes, you did mention Dr, Kevin Saldanha's status, it takes a person of
a very high stature to publicly and humbly apologize ( did you know about
the apology or forget to mention it ? ) I hope Fr. Nasciment has received
it.
To all donors, do not stop, there are a lot of credible people and
organizations out there who need help, just try to be smart and do a little
investigation before.
All of us have a 20 : 20 hind sight, but the handful of you with
foresight keep up the good work. Like Kevin you can try to do something and
make mistakes or like Alan and ME sit back, do nothing and never make a
mistake.

FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } Hello All Saligaokars,
I, for the longest time, have not said anything about Fr. Nasimento getting
donations to purchase a laptop though I have been reading about it.
I was an alter boy for father Nasimento when I was a kid and I could not in
my wildest imaginations think that father Nasimento would want such
luxuries.
Kevin certainly knows that a laptop in Canada is not that expensive if he
really had good intentions about father Nasimeto's needs. A person of
Kevin's status being a vet doctor, a mere $500-$600 is not much for the
intention intended.
The reaction that came based on Kevin's plea for donations was typically
Goan type, whereby we tend to believe anything and everything a person of
status says. Kevin, there are a lot of people who read the numerous
articles that are posted on Saligaonet and just because people never
reply, it does not mean the readers agree with the articles posted.
And lastedly, all those who have already donated to the fund - wake up,
dont be gullible just because you live abroad.
Alan Fernandes
