Mr. Jatta,

I only have a few minutes to spare, but I can't help but caution you to be a
bit more careful in how you handle this type of info. I'm not saying what
you've been told is untrue. It may as well turn out to be true. That's
simply beside the point at this stage. But going by what you have NOW, it's
very premature to inform this distro about such "scandalous" news. The only
purpose your info will serve at this point is to give an excuse to people
with plenty of time to waste to engage in un-necessary Radio Kang Kang
fodder. Thus unfairly impugning the name, and image of List Managers living
in Scandinavia. I would rather you had waited till you've got something
solid to go on, and informed us. As a personal advice, never forget that
"wild gossip" is in our blood as Gambians! If some of the crap we hear from
people back home is true, Yaya Jammeh would have been history by now! Just
think back to some of the "news" we've been tipped here about in the last
two years. So, please start the habit of double-checking EVERYTHING people
tell you back home. That's what I do, and beleive me, it'll save you
unnecessary embarrassment. There's simply NO BASIS to some of the things we
get fed here.

I stand corrected here, but the way I understand it, NO SINGLE List Manager
can unduly influence this List -even if your story turns out to be true. Any
Manager who is foolish enough to try any under-handed tactics here, will do
so at his own peril. Some of us know where the wind blows from. So, I don't
mean to shut you down with your info, but releasing such scandalous material
without any basis is counter-productive at this stage. It's bound to
distract us further from the noble efforts being led by Joe Sambou, Dr.
Saine and ML Conteh. Right  now, we have enough distractions as it is. We
just don't need another one.

No hard feelings here Brother. Just a little caution.

Saul.

FELLOW LERS, AM SURE ALL OF YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO
LEARN THAT ONE OF OUR LIST MANAGERS IS CURRENTLY
LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT WITH THE APRC GOVERNMENT, IN
EXCHANGE FOR REPORTING TO YAYA JAMMEH THE NAMES OF ALL
THOSE ANTI-GOVERNMENT ACTIVISTS WRITING BAD THINGS
ABOUT APRC. SOURCES FROM BACK HOME TOLD ME THAT THIS
LIST MANAGER HAS SOMETIME AGO FORWARDED HIS
APPLICATION TO APRC AFTER PROMISING THEM THAT HE WILL
