William Njie,

My apologies to you, and I hope you'll forgive me for the error. I should
have waited until Alan Mboge, or Ndey Jobarteh, rejoins the list before
raising this matter.

I am confusing things here. I now remember very well, it was Ebou Manneh's
IP number and that of Finna Ceesay that were checked, just out of curiosity.

As for you, Finna, I am not doubting your existence at all. Your IP number
was only checked, because of curiosity, in the wake of some of the things
you were saying about Tombong.

As for the Ebou Manneh postings, I know where they do come from, and I'll
shed light on the matter, at the appropriate time.

Meanwhile, I am urging Gambia L subscribers to wait until they read my
reaction, before forming a judgement. I have handled polemical  situations
which were far more complicated than this one.

As long as there are no insults or disrespect, I am ready for an
enlightening debate.

Finally, I repeat my apology to William Njie, and I hope he forgives me for
the mistake.

Ebrima Ceesay,
Birmingham, UK.

PS: Gambia L, just to say that I have not forgotten that I should give you
an update on the proposed directory of Gambian "professionals". I couldn't
believe the positive feed backs I am getting privately, from Gambians and
friends of the Gambia all over the world.

When I thought about the idea of publishing a directory, I just wanted to do
something small; a reference book I can even finish within four months
period.

But, right now, private individuals and even donor agencies/Foundations have
been contacting me, pledging moral, material and financial support, so that
the project can get off the ground.

Although, I must add that the kind of "Master Directory" these people are
suggesting, and ready to finance, will take at least one year. But the good
thing is that it can be done.

This directory is "long over due", commented many.

Anyway, I am very grateful to the L, because it was the forum where the
issue was first raised. I'll be very transparent with the whole thing. I'll
tell those pledging financial/material support for the project, to do
everything through the L, or they should forget it. I cannot accuse Mr
Jammeh of not being transparent and accountable, when I am also guilty of
the same offence.
