Laye,
 
I had also arrived at the same conclusions that it made sense to de-list  
Ebou Jallow  because with Pa Nderry's declaration that his site was  illegally 
hacked and his private communications illegally acquired by the  hackers ( and 
we all saw that evidence which the management said  was the reason they decided 
to de-list his email address for the time  being) and Ebou Jallow's posting 
of emails he clearly labels as  intercepted private communication to Pa Nderry 
was what led me to also  suggest that Ebou Jallow should be de-listed but 
Malanding offered an  explanation that still has me scratching my head.

List  Managers:

I am suggesting that - under the circumstances of Pa Nderry  Mbai's claim
of his email account being tampered with lately - Ebou  Jallow
([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]) be asked to  demonstrate to
the list that he has explicit permission from Pa Nderry Mbai  to forward
Mr. Mbai's private messages to the list. Barring any  satisfactory
demonstration (the standard should be obvious to all)by Mr.  Jallow, he
should be immediately delisted in accordance with set rules of  the list.

I believe it is under the circumstances of Mr. Mbai's claim  of illegal
compromise that his (Mr. Mbai's) email account was delisted -  because he
purported to not have control of his email account. It defies  logic (in my
opinion) to see his private messages being forwarded to the  list with no
explicit raising of eyebrows by the list management. Not to my  knowledge
so far.

There has been precedent to such behavior on the  list and the outcome was
swift and clear to all.

My apolgies if this  issue is being dealt with under the  shadows.
