Mr. Jassey-Conteh: You wrote: <<"Please read Bambalaye's recent message. He pinpointed that one can only give input if one contributes to the election fund drive. I thought that suggestion should not be the criteria for democracy.">> I think you misread what I wrote in response to Jabou. Here's what I think you're referring to: <<Like you, I have expressed my opinion in contrast to the notion that only those who have actually "put their money where their mouth is" ought to be part of the list-serve that is set up for discussion, which I am currently running. But there seem to be the wisdon of majority in that regard so far.>> Now, tell me if anything in what I wrote above is remo tely close to "He pinpointed that one can only give input if one contributes to the election fund drive." I suggest you practice more in catching the details on what you read before drawing conclusions.
