Hi Jabou,
Im happy to read that you have no problem with newspapers running your
postings provided our own rules are observed. As I pointed out, we must
approach these postings with care owing to professional and legal
considerations.
I hope Tombong and Gassama would reconsider their stance on this issue as
people with strong ties with the net, the new conduit for unfettered freedom
of expression.
Thanks for the undrestanding
Deyda
