Kukeh,
 
Thanx for this advice. I think everyone should take heed. I had all kinds  
of spoofing and headaches with my hotmail account not to mention the havoc 
those  who work ay hotmail try to wreak on unsuspecting subscribers to make 
money on  the side. I mean I would advise my friends and family never to get 
hotmail  accounts or Juno (netzero) accounts for that matter. I don't have 
that  experience with Yahoo, gmail, or any other free service yet and I've 
had  accounts with all of them.
 
Galleh and Ndokeh, I think Kukeh is right that because of the high profile  
nature of the two of you, your emails and any further information someone 
can  glean from you, even information you may think is unimportant, is gold 
to folk  who regularly prowl the net. There may be some of those folk who 
subscribe in  the same networking communities like facebook, jhoos, etc. just 
to mine  information. And I haven't even said anything about paypal.
 
Ndokeh I think you are overeacting a bit vis-a-vis not trusting Kukeh. We  
must realise that Ellen itself although our host takes enormous steps to  
preserve our privacies, is vulnerable to a tenacious and unsuspecting 
criminal.  My tantrum against Laye was just that a tantrum although if Laye could he 
would  curtail my posting privileges, if for nothing else, simply because I 
do not  yield BDOIS any more value.
 
Anyway, I encourage us to look at Ellen's managers in a totally new light.  
They are our partners. I don't think they would benefit much from our  
abandonment of Ellen because of our distrust of them. They do volunteer to  
manage the listserv for us. I do admire them and sometimes I keep thinking they  
must have nerves of steel. Where else can you cuss a listmanager and remain 
 favoured in that community? And whenever we feel aversed, it is best we 
try  to hash it out right there and then. It is very easy for us to suspect 
list  managers for infringement on our email privacy simply because they may 
have  access to our subscription details. But I came to realise that if you 
are high  profile like Galleh and Nderry, somebody is trying every day to be 
you. Trust  me.
 
Haruna.

Baba,
Good to see that BambaLaye is helping out. Over the years G-L  had 
several  incidences of email hacking, most infamous being that of  Pa 
Nderry's.  My take is free mail accounts are not hack-proof and  
high-profile accounts like yours and Pa Nderry's are most vulnerable. A  
few tips that can help:

1. retain multiple accounts just in  case.
2. use dedicated account for Gambia-l stuff
3. develop a habit of  using complex passwords.
4. change your  password regularly
5.when  hacked change your account

Malanding
