Gilbert: I don't seem to receive all Goanet posts.  I never saw the thread about saving Charles Correia's work and Kala Academy or about the basilica.  Just now,  I did't receive the Goanet edition with my post on it which you must have read.   I still would like to have you enlighten us about

Hi Filomena, I read several of your recent posts on the topic with interest.  I must compliment you that despite Dom's superb command of the English language and often referred to as the foremost Goan writer, Dom folded like a wet-noodle in response to your inquiry. I do have a sense of humor.

Hi Dom Pardon my delay in replying.  But the weekend has arrived and I have some free time.   A few years ago there was a Goanetter who would write in the Queen's English (very impressive); though at times he slipped and wrote the plebian style.  Now I detect in your writing a Bombay / Mumbai

I get Goanet news.  I saw a Goanet post about this in this morning's edition - but just a couple of snide comments about how people flock to fake relics like the Shroud of Turin.  I didn't see anything about the Basilica in those Goanet posts before this one.  I checked google and there's

My regrets, Filomena, if the essence of my cynicism is taken literally. As for the Basilica, check the thread. I merely pitched in where others initiated the concept. Dom On Wed, Aug 7, 2019 at 2:49 PM Filomena Giese wrote: > Hi Eddie > Funny thing - yesterday I was wondering where you are
