Mr. Sidibeh,
I am happy to learn that you have found out for yourself i am not Mr. Lamin
Sanyang in Finland who 'dislikes you for whatever reason'.

Secondly, if you've ever had beef with Haruna i was never aware of it. All i
was trying to put across was in fact to urge Ron to exercise patience. He is
a very intelligent man. This is no empty statement, but a fact. If i(who
goes around confusing people) can claim to read and understand you,
obviously, he, who is better in this language can. But i guess you missed
all that. What he too is trying to do, is, to give you a little push; for
you to to exert minimum effort when you send postings to the L. I have read
people getting agitated when he corrects them, but to me i sincerely believe
all he ever wants is to bring out the best in each of us. I will never get
offended by him if i were to be corrected. I read/'see' him as a
perfectionist, and people like him are part of those who make this world a
better place in many areas. It is a unique character trait, and many can
perceive it as arrogance. Nothing can be further from the truth!

If i have to say this one more time i will. I am NOT a professor. I have NOT
yet graduated. Most importantly English language is NOT my favorite subject.
I am still reading/learning.

You may be right on one point though; sub-consciously, may be i am one
coward who could not tell you in your face that you need to improve your
grammar and diction. But is it a crime to be a coward? Just take me for the
chicken i am and move on, brother!
Ifanang, sabari!
Sanyang.

Thanks Mr professor Lamin Sayang who you "might be", I don’t know, making me
mixed you up with a well respected Lamin Sayang in Finland which i really
regret and sending my heartfelt apology to you Lamin and wish you will
understood my plea. It was really to my surprise before writing the response
seeing a bogus comment to my piece by someone who was all along trying to
pay back for my comments on his remarks seconded by a similar name of a
person I hardly see but respect even though we are living in the same city.
Though, we spoke on telephone yesterday I still have to eat my words to you
and vomit it on this English professor Lamin Sayang of oxford or whereever
graduate instead of Helsinki University. From the bottom of my heart Mr
Peter Lamin Sayang of Helsinki, I am sorry. I could write you a privet mail
too but it went through public mail and from there it should be taken back
and give to whom it belongs not you decent cool brother.


Whether you are trying to show your capabilities in the language by changing
my sentence, but I am very sad seeing a professor like you correcting like
this which university were you graduated? If my Haruna does not understand
my language and syntax, Your quotations and syntax rearangement are even
worst just read it.
