Conteh:

Your suggestions are well noted, and I hope the Gambia-L management will take these advices and act upon them.  The scary thing in passing the management or ownership to someone or some group is the chance one may be taken off as a subscriber if he or she does not see eye to eye with the list ownership.  To have every member chip in his or her contribution to the operation of the G-L will be an empowering tool.  We will be at ease, in speaking our minds without the fear of intimidation from anyone.

Lamin Tunkara.
