Pa,

 I am extremely busy at the moment, but let me take this quick opportunity to second without reservation Halifa Sallah’s comments:-

 “At least you are different from people who hide behind corners to say the very things you have written while pretending to be reserving their opinion so as not to harm the interest of opposition unity. Needless to say, you also have one rear virtue which others need to emulate. In short, you do apologise when you discover that your earlier impressions are misconceived. As a public figure I am accountable to the public for all my actions in the public space. Even my actions in the private domain are not spared. I accept criticism or scrutiny in good faith”.

 That is what it is all about.

 Keep up the good work - although if I were still at the Daily Observer ....

Yours sincerely,

Dida Halake.
