Ahmed Toulan, Mailing list members , Karim Fayez

I do agree with what Ahmed Said, but in the meanwhile I can find excuses for
not managing things as expected due to the fact that the mailing list was in
deep sleep, but things are arising now - I hope it will stay that way - So
no responsibilities are arising on the level of Team Leader , Mail List
Moderator,.....

Are you guys have the energy and time to do these things or not ?
If Yes, good for every1
If Not, no problem please let us find some1 to help you in these
responsibilities.

I manage around 5 Mailing list and I'm proud of saying it always , that I
never let an e-mail needs approval more than couple of hours max.. (I dont
believe in sensor ship, the mail that I approve are always over sized or
mails from non members)

Kind Regards
Samer
