Nyaki,

10days as usual. Maybe MM should adopt the format Day x of 10, on the subject line to remind listers...

walu.

Muriuki,

My point exactly, if he responds now it would be too soon. He can clarify some stuff at the tail-end.What is the lifespan of this discussion so we know what the tail-end means?

True  Nyaki , MJ touched many people in different ways –  

   

We each know only a small  part of MJ  but we all know the  impact
of his actions  over the last 10 yrs.  We expect that the discussion can help
unravel and give us  a  360 degree view  and what drives MJ and whether this
can be replicated so that we  see other corporates entering the market and revitalizing
it like MJ did . 

   

While this is our view which we are researching – perhaps it
could be beneficial for some clarification from MJ at some point towards the tail
end of the debate but certainly not now. An early contribution will  influence
the course of the  rich discussion – ama ? 

   



   

cheers  

   

Muriuki Mureithi

Gilda,



On the contrary I do not think MJ should answer at this stage. Research of this
nature can take a life of its own and be the beginnings of a great book. I
think we should allow Muriuki time to gather views (without input from MJ at
this stage), collate them and maybe share with him for feedback...ama?

Listers,



I have kept up with your many interesting observations and comments/compliments
etc.

Maybe we should now hear from the horse's mouth, is he ready to run another
race

as suggested by yourselves in this interesting discussion?

Gilda
