Koto: Good enough! We see the issues at hand so differently that perhaps a meeting of the minds in person at some point down the line will help us move forward better. Sometimes this medium tends to not do justice to the overall opinions of some folks. So a face to face meeting will probably help put thing in perspective. Please just don't freak out when you see my mighty dreadlocks. After all, I do have lineage that descends from one of the greatest dreadlocked Talubehs in Sheikh Ebra Faal, loyal servant of Bamba. (laugh) On a more serious note, I believe you missed the point Karamba made in his piece. He believes the relationship between Talubeh and Grande Marabout might need to be revisited and he also added the caveat that the Talubeh could learn more at a formal religious institution. I believe he has strong points.
