GalloPinto is a different type of Discussion Group. We share a lot of WEB found articles and opinions. But, we really appreciate a member who can write intelligent, coherent sentences and is able to string some of those together into actual paragraphs. We do not limit discussion to Costa Rica, but open things up to civilized back-and-forth on just about everything under the sun, including politics, religion and even pretty girls. Very little is off limits --- as long as you handle things with good taste. Even controversy can often be appreciated --- but other members must always be treated with respect. We do try to spend time staying abreast of local and regional Central American happenings. What we are not is a ready and waiting panel of experts panting to answer the same old questions about moving to Costa Rica. GalloPinto welcomes questions, stories and deeper level discussions on Costa Rica and most other subjects.
