Dr Jaiteh, just for this topic allow Mathew to respond to any question directed at him. After this, i reserve the right to forward writings i find appealing. of course, Mathew like Halifa have been around in Gambian journalistic circles for a long time and they all deserve our attention. This doesn't mean, accepting what they say or following them, it only means giving others a chance to have their say. I thank you Dr Jaiteh for the diplomatic way you handle sensitive issues here. As an elder, i say balalma for making you over watchful on material emanating from my angle. But i have done the best to be respectful and polite. On issues of national interest, it is unwise to be a tiger without claws, just puffing. I respect bailo and will continue to do so. We share something more important than party political differences.

Pasamba,
I believe we are giving this thread undeserved attention. In addition 
Mathew is not a member of the L to respond to any queries.  I am 
confident that Suntou recognize folly in forwarding it in the first 
place and would recall it if he could. This is one of those rare moments 
MUNYAL/ SABARR  is called for.
