I really think and believe that it's good to have an additional forum. Perhaps we should also look into further creating a Gambiaweb, GamWAH, GAMWAHTAN or GAMTEW forums as well. It just adds more to menu. I think gambia-L and Post have both been very helpful in serving as forums to discuss Gambian issues. However, I would also recommend that we consider what is otherwise known as redundancy in the TCOM field. Perhaps if finances allows it, there is something called disaster Recovery-DR also. I look forward to participating in all forums. The more, the merrier.
