    Well, Carl, sorry, I feel totally dispointed on you.
    I realized you are not the guy I should talk to. 
    You are not serious any more. You just express youself
    "xin4 kuo3 kai1 he2"(talking without thinking) on every
    topic you involved in CSS. Why should I waste time and 
    enery to communicate with an man I doubt innormal on mental
    (sorry, but I am serious). I could understand those Chinese
    non-Chinese netters, pro-CCP, pro-KMT, pro-TI, pro-China, 
    pro-democracy, any way, people with different backgounds have 
    different opinions, it is ok. At least people have some 
    common basis to start exchange their own points of view.
    But you seems without any common value of China and Chinese
    and I cann't get any helpful and healthy idea from you.  
    You have showed your all ability to curse communists (I don't
    care!) but it is very boring and foolish to paint everything
    with political colors! Even you don't let Yue Fei go!
    Poor boy, if you lived in McCarthy's time, you would be
    greatly appreciated by him. Oh no, he would not like a
    guy without logical ability. Ok enough. Bye.
