My Dear Katim,
The Web confirmation process you introduced earlier on is a total failure
because members are getting old postings since the confirmation takes a very
slow pace. Some of the postings take 48 hours to be confirmed, which is
stupid. And this leaves the impression that you are working for Yaya Jammeh,
or may be you are paid to censor postings. If that is not the case, please
discontinue the confirmation process.

>In particular, Hamjatta Kanteh expressed his displeasure at my remark about

>I guess that's about it for now. Have a great week, and best wishes.
