Habib,
I would be very grateful, if you / anybody on the L can forward where I
insulted Yusupha Jow`s parents. I am very busy, and don`t really have
time to answer to these untruthful accusations against me. I would be
very grateful, if our computer experts can dig the archives and forward
where I said,
1" I don`t know Ebou Jallow ".
2. Where I insulted Yusupha`s parents.
Let the same experts be honest to forward where I was called a
"Hypocrite" and
"a liar". Habib, remember that I am a father and my children have read
it.
Bro Taf.
