Brother Pa Musa,
                  thank you for expressing your
concern about forwarding Daffeh's articles and him not
subscribe to the List and participate.

I would seek a public opinion on this issue before
making a final decision on whether to stop or continue
forwarding. Thank You and keep up the struggle.

Saihou
