Boto, I sincerely apologize for putting you on the spot. Like I told someone, I was just about to leave for work when I decided to check my mail box. This Sir Dawda topic caught my eye. When I opened it, I saw your name, and read on. Within two minutes, I was literally pounding my keyboard, 'cause I just couldn't believe anyone will have the nerve to praise Jawara, and REWRITE Gambian history so soon, considering Jawara's record, and the current mess we're in thanks to his rule. But, apparently, you're the wrong writer. My message should have been addressed to Buba Jaiteh, not you. I didn't mean to set Yaya's goons loose on you. Your panic is perfectly understandable. I missed your protests because after saying my piece in the morning, I deleted most of the subsequent contributions on this topic that evening. I had more mail in my box than I had time to read. That's how I also missed Momodou Camara's original correction. But, simply I'm sorry for causing you any distress. I'll look at the foot note more carefully next time. I only hope you haven't had any "visitors" in the mean time. Say Hi to Almamo Janneh, Hassan Joof, and Dr. Sabally for me. I was an MRC employee myself. Have a good weekend! Saul. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
