Hi folks,
i'm writing in a hurry, 'cos i'm supposed to be joining some other Gambians and friends for a get-together. so i'll be brief, until tomorrow.
first, i've been working on the configuration of the list, and the results are as follows:
Configuration of ListProcessor list gambia-l@u.washington.edu
VISIBLE-LIST OWNER-SUBSCRIPTIONS SUBSCRIPTION-MANAGERS gambia-l@u.washington.ed ajanneh@pstcc.cc.tn.us sarian.loum@eng.sun.com SEND-BY-SUBSCRIBERS STATISTICS-TO-SUBSCRIBERS REVIEW-BY-SUBSCRIBERS ARCHIVES-TO-SUBSCRIBERS ARCHIVE "" digests UNCOMPRESSED-ARCHIVES UNMODERATED DELIVERY-ERRORS-TO at137@columbia.edu binta@iuj.ac.jp binata@iuj.ac.jp DIGEST weekly Sunday 0 0 MESSAGE-LIMIT 250 COMMENT GAMBIA-L\: The Gambia and Related Issuess Mailing List DEFAULT ADDRESS FIXED (system default) MAIL ACK PASSWORD .* (system default) CONCEAL NO PREFERENCE CCUNSUBSCRIBE CCERRORS CCREVIEW NO-AUTO-DELETE-SUBSCRIBERS DONT-FORWARD-REJECTS REPLY-TO-LIST KEEP-RESENT-LINES NO-REFLECTOR PUBLISHED-LIST SET-DISABLE conceal yes OWNERS tloum@u.washington.edu touray@hope.soils.wisc.edu touray@calshp.cals.wisc.edu OWNER-CONTROLLED
Please note a couple of things:
1. Subscription Managers: Amadou Janneh and Sarian Loum 2. Error Managers: Abdourahman Touray and Lamin Drammeh (Japan) 3. We should now be getting copies of what we send 4. No one, i mean NO ONE can conceal their subscriptions
those are about the most important features i'd like to point out for now. the next issue is the business of subscribers. i think people misunderstood when the question was asked about who should subscribe. to the best of my knowledge, i don't know of anyone who's suggested here that we should restrict subscriptions to Gambians. given that almost all of us are outside The Gambia, it would have been sad if such talk was muttered.
still on subscriptions, i'm appending a draft Intro/info sheet to be sent to new requests for subscriptions. if there's anything i've left out that should be added, please let me know. the sheet will be sent, when finalized, to the subscription managers for them to send to those requesting to subscribing. before i forget, please note too that GAMBIAL-L is listed as one of the subscription managers, so that we'll all get a copy of request for subscriptions. if this is too much of a bother let me know.
that's about all for now. oh, have you heard about the coup attempt in Guinea Conakry?. i wonder what's the matter with us.
have a great weekend, everyone.

=================================== Start of forwared info ======================================== GAMBIA-L: The Gambia, and Related Issues Mailing List.
Subscriber Introduction/Information Sheet
Welcome to GAMBIA-L. It is our sincere hope that you will find the exchange of information and ideas that we carry out useful to you. It is our aim to make the mailing list one of the most dynamic, and useful lists in cyberspace. To do this, we need maximum collaboration and cooperation from subscriber.
To better help subscribers know each other, and draw on our diverse resources, we require new subscribers to complete, and return the following Introduction/Information sheet. Completion, in full, and return of the sheet to the Subscription Managers is a required before applications for subscription are approved.
Please note that the information you are providing will be archived along with the traffic carried on GAMBIA-L. while this archive is configured to be accessible only to subscribers of GAMBIA-L, there is NO GURANTEE that this information will be available only to that lists' subscribers. In recognition of this reality, we have limited the information required to what would be considered skeletal. This is to make sure that subscribers have an idea of the depth and breadth of human resources on the list, but at the same time reduce the amount of information asked of subscribers.
Please be reminded that the "CONCEAL" option on the list has been disabled. This means that subscribers *CANNOT* conceal their subscriptions to the list. Hopefully, this will help reassure everyone that we would be keeping a close eye on snooping, a problem a number of Africa-oriented mailing lists have had to contend with.
Once again, welcome to GAMBIA-L, and we wish you a useful, and enlightening experience in our small patch of cyberspace.

Hi,
Responding to Amadou's reaction, maybe I didn't communicate well. The issue of membership(nationality) was merely a question. I do firmly believe that Gambia-L should be open to all. I was only sounding your opinions.
Lamin.
By the way, is it true that Guinea had a coup? What the hell is going on in W/Africa?
