G'day all - Larry, personally, I am impartial to on/off topic in any thread so long as all the participants [lurkers included] do not mind. By that it is likely that there is a good rapport amongst us. Of course, sticking to anything Asian helps any curious passerby.
At a personal level, I have always considered you and Ramsey my cyberfriends, so I should back off from your dispute [especially in light of my failure yesterday <sg>] I think Stitch is right, let's try to maintain some amount of decorum and see if we can revitalize the thread. I know different people have different manner of expression, and chances are there are people who do not like how I express myself. Well, I have no solution, but maybe I can try to guard against my own idiosyncrasies. And let others do theirs. As someone who has spent a short while in the distant past battling propagandists and apologists on USENET, I assure you things can be much uglier without even probable cause [that's why I don't do USENET much anymore.]
Anyway, enough ramblings <G>
best, Bosco |
