Dear Katim,
It has been my understanding that the L is a forum where members can share
topics of interest, as well as express their opinions. I am sure everyone
understands that every topic discussed will not be of interest to everyone
on the L, and therefore, one is not obligated to read everything that is
posted and which would be of interest to others, but not to themselves.A
number of us on this forum appreciate and consider the topic of religion a
very relevant topic to share and dsicuss among other things. There have been
topics discussed by others on this list that a lot of us did not care for,
but there was never a call for them to form another list to discuss the
particular topic there.
In this regard, i would like to know if infact this list is what it is
promoted as: i.e a forum for the discussion of ideas of interest, and self
expression.If it is not, then i would like you to please provide us a list of
the topics you consider relevant for discussion on the list so that we will
know that this is a list just for the discussion of those particular topics,
and nothing more. Thank you.

<< Hi folks,
This is a reminder that Gambia-L is NOT a forum for this or that particular
religion. For this reason, I would advice you to refrain from sending
religious postings to the list. While it is perfectly OK to send
annoucements of religious EVENTS (e.g. "there'll be a GAMMO at XYZ, on Mar.
whatever ... "), and meetings of religious associations, it is expressly
prohibited from now on for subscribers to send postings that are aimed at
religious education. One example of postings that will not be allowed on
Gambia-L is a recent one from Mr. Modou Mbye Jabang, and archived at the
following address:
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?A2=ind0003&L=gambia-l&O=A&F=P&P=67194
Gambia-L is a forum for discussing secular issues, and NOT a platform for
religious education. Besides, anyone who is inclined to be sending religious
education postings can set up their own list, as have been done by others.
Thanks a lot, and best wishes in your endeavors.
