I join Yus in appealing to Karamba and Kabir not to de-list themselves.

In this day and age, and with the talent of these two individuals and several others who regard L-management as inept, No institution, especially one that depends on communication among subscribers for its raison d'etre, cannot exist by being charlatans and bossy toward its patrons. There are simply too many alternatives and options available to intelligent and honest individuals in this world.

Two of those alternatives are:

1. Actively shut down this current Gambia-L and re-organise it or

2. Initiate an alternative Maelstrom in protest.

So do not de-list for your opinions and teachings are valuable to us. I would suggest that those of us who wish for better, more dynamic, and fairer management, remain in private contact and discuss ways of improving this here Maelstrom. To register our disdain however, we can offer to foreward the opinions and thoughts of those industrious and capable Gambians such as Momodou Olly Mboge and whoever else becomes a victim of unprincipled heavy-handedness from that there management. This is how trades unions succeed in demanding and obtaining redress.

Management has shown its incapacity to understand the genesis of dynamism. So they may view forewarding mail from "expelled" subscribers as an affront to their egos and power. This then brings us to another round of ideas. In the battle of ideas, guess what type of folk gain the upper-hand. Those who are not full of themselves but of brilliance.

So how about it Karamba, Kabir, Yus, Ngorr, Dampha, olly-mboge, jorge', Haruna, and those who identify with this mail. This way, we are not necessarily showing displeasure with the paysons (as Hardy would call them) of management but with their style and process.

Les plus importants transformations sont les modifications "accidentelles".
