Malanding: The offer to host Gambia-L on www.freegambia.com still stands. If it is agreed this be the way to go, I would like to get the migration process started as soon as possible. I'd also take this opportunity to thank all the managers and pioneers of this "mother-of-all-gambian-lists" for the great sacrifice and effort they've put into making sure Gambia-L is what it is today - a reservoir of knowledge, opinion, ideas, culture, etc.etc. We need to ensure that we revere the wealth herein for those coming after us. Koto Habib, yes I remeber when I was first introduced to the list some eight/nine years ago....you can only appreciate this list more if you had been around then.
