Musa, thanks for your response and my comments were not directed to you but
to the author. Sorry if it did come out that way. I appreciate the
postings that you share with us and I have been printing your religious
postings for a fellow Gambian who does not have access to the net and he
appreciates your efforts very much. sorry for any inconvenience this may
have caused you. Keep up the good job.
