Greetings George:
Apparently you have not changed a bit over the years. I recall your childish
outbursts over a year ago between you and others before you disappeared from
the list. I dismissed it then as just the emotional outbursts of an immature
uncultured child and I will continue to do so until you change.

You recently rejoined gambia-l again and observing your language and
attitude toward others I see you have not grown up emotionally still.
I am therefore not surprise at your most recent emotional albeit  libelous
statements hurled at me. But I will grin, bear, shake my head then try to
rehablitate through education one who needs guidance.

First, how do you know I was stealing your codes? I think I said that I
clicked on the enter button when your page was loading to interrupt you
intro flash when the unsavory message was received. But I guess you do not
read very well.

Second, on the subject of viewing page sources, what makes you think that
people do not have the freedom to view any website's page source? If that
was the case, browsers such as netscape and internet explorer  would not
come with the option to click 'view' then 'page source'.

I am not sure how long you have been on the net and if you know the history
of the internet. But the spirit of learning and sharing is firmly embedded
in cyberspace. Click on most major websites (not minor and virtually obscure
sites such as yours) and go to 'view' then 'page source' and see whether the
words "hello thief! ..." is sent to you. Go to Bill Gates' website
'www.microsoft.com' or Ted Turner's 'www.cnn.com' and report back to the
list. My point therefore is very simply this: If George Sarr's website page
source is so spectacular that it makes him paranoid that someone (like
Latjor) is going to steal his source, then I wonder why Bill and Ted are not
in the same boat as Mr. Sarr. If this is your understanding of 'hacking'
then I can only laugh, for everyone with access to the internet is a hacker!

BTW, what is so spectacular about your website that would compel me to steal
your generic source codes.
The last time I came to the site, a week or two ago, (since I am no longer
welcome) I observed that you use basic, elementary flash and basic html
(probably using one of the popular editors), and graphics which display a
certain novice with graphic arts. The 'news' comes from other websites via
links etc...
I thought though that it was good that more Gambian sites are popping up.

You seem to be upset because Latjor has not commented on your website as
your statement below seems to reflect. It is not because Latjor does not
think you are to be commended, but simply that Latjor has been occupied with
a whole bunch of other stuff. You said:

>You know it's sad that with all the good things that gambiansonline try to
>bring , Latjor only has this to say? Well, I guess we're doing pretty good
>then.

Latjor only queried because Latjor received an offensive message!
For your information, I have been building websites since 1995, when few
Gambians knew then what the 'www' was all about. I manage several sites and
show people interested how to build web pages, digital editing, etc...

Finally George, learn to be respectful and in turn people will respect you.
In peace,
Latjor
