Abdoul, It is paramount that we agree to disagree. The gist of my posting, and overall concern is your insinuation that there exist among us "a group whose only agenda is subversive propaganda" and that the "SILENT majority" are the ones only interested in the FACTS. That notion is was propelled me to respond to your posting. I just think that we should be very careful with that labelous notion because Gambia belongs to all of us and we all want what's best for this country. We just happen to differ in strategy. Again, you and I are good friends and I am supremely confident that you are too smart to join those who view us as outcast simply because of our non-conventional viewpoints. We are your sons, daughters, nephews, etc etc. We are ONE big family. IMHO, there is NOTHING titillating about being a proud "SILENT majority" while your own brothers and sisters are being subjected all kinds of crimes against humanity. I also agree that we should not just point out the bad, but also show the good being done. And some of us are already doing that. May I also close by stating the subscribers are the ones to benefit from this. Anyone refusing to be informed by neither fora is only doing the disservice to themselves. Thanks for your thoughts Ablie. Talk to you later George.

I must first say that nothing you said is personal as you well know that neither of us cut corners when it comes to the truth. I just belief in what I write and so do you. Regardless of what our positions are, you will always remain the person you are in my BOOK, particularly given our history. My observations are just how I see things, which does not mean that they are to be taken as the bible. Finally, please do not misconstrue my comments regarding the rocket scientist as an attempt to question your abilities, but rather one indicating that with enough resources, wether it is using ones own abilities or outsourcing it for that matter , it is not a difficult task to put together a medium regardless of how technically savy he or she is. It is called outsourcing as I have done with you on many occasions. George, I reiterate to you that you have not said anything PERSONAL to me and you still remain a star in my book although we see things differently on this issue. I will close this issue here. Talk to you soon Ablie Njie- lekbi Atlanta ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
