Hamjatta, I have seized to personal attacks when national issues are discussed. I am sorry, but I am not on this list owing to anyone to explain my position any further. I will try to read your piece more when I have a dictionary by my side and could look up some of your misused words like "sodding." If I have any reply for you, you will get it. I am not here seeking for recognition and self importance on the Gambia-L. By the way, the symposium was for "mending fences" and not a United Opposition to my surprise. So I tap myself on the shoulder for not condemning the ruling party's attendance. And I apologize to the UDP for I did not know that was the point of discussion, despite it was not what was discussed.
