Deyda, I believe a consensus is emerging that the least expected of local papers is credit the author of list-based material and, whenever possible, seek the consent of the originator of the material in question. This appears to be the position of George Sarr, Momodou Camara, Jabou Joh and myself. If this reflects the general feeling of others, especially, those immediately affected by the practise, then we should move on pending the fulfilment of the Daily Observer MD's promise to make amends.
