  /\    I'm anonymous! So, what's the problem? Hehe j/k.
 /  \   Naah, I'm happy that somebody sent me an E-mail :-)
 \  /   I don't want to use the phrase "What's the problem",
  \/    or else I will get a lot of Re: What's the problem.
        Saya anonim nih, terus memangnya kenapa? Hehe (guyon)
        Ngga marah koq, meskipun ada yang ngirim e-mail nih.
        Saya juga ngga bakal pake title "What's the problem",
        nanti banjir Re: What's the problem lagi.

Think about this, have you ever for-    Coba inget2, pernahkah kita lupa
gotten the name of people introduced    nama orang yang baru saja kenalan
to you right after you shake their      tidak lama sesudah berjabatan tangan?
hands? I guess a lot of times. Some     Saya rasa sering, bukan cuma pernah.
people have guts to ask: "What's your   Ada juga yang cuek, nanya lagi "Eh,
name again?". Other just keep silent    tadi namanya siapa :-)?" Kebanyakan
and say "Hi :-)" the next time they     sih pura2 inget dan cuma bilang "Hai"
each other. Do such things happen       kalo ketemu lagi. Apa kejadian itu 
because our memory is no better than    sebab ingatan kita tidak jauh lebih
rodents or squirrels?                   baik daripada tikus atau bajing? 

It's simply because we're not inter-    Singkatnya, kita tidak tertarik, dan
ested, that's the whole point. I'm a    itu juga sekaligus intinya. Saya
male, so I know how easily I could      laki2, jadi saya tahu mudahnya untuk
remember a pretty girl's name, last     inget nama ceweq cakep, nama belakang
name, grandpa's name, address, dog(s)'  nya, nama opanya, alamatnya, nama
names, phone number and stuff. To be    anjingnya, nomor telponnya. Kalau
honest, I just remember the name of a   mau jujur, saya cuma ingat nama dari
couple of people regularly posting      beberapa orang yang sering nulis di
articles on ACI. Hmm, let me recall     A.c.i. Hmm, coba ingat2 dulu. Budi R.
those names... Budi R. (stupid me if    (keterlaluan kalau nama itu lupa 
I can't remember that name :-), then    sih :-), terus Bill Alves, sebab dia
Bill Alves (cuz he posted recently),    baru-baru ini juga posting artikel. 
Bambang, Maulana, hmm, then Isae(?),    Terus Bambang, Maulana, dan Isae(?)
LiangHoei, Purwinto and his flores      LiangHoei, Purwinto & berita2 Flores,
article, Gustavo Crespo, Rui, Jade or   Gustavo Crespo, Rui, Jade (mungkin)
something like that.. McDougall, Henuk  McDougall, Henuk, dan .. oh, agaknya
and oh, I think I've squeezed almost    sudah hampir semua saya sebut.
all a.c.i in my head.

It takes about 24 hours in my system    Di sistem saya, cuma butuh waktu 24
to change my userid. I know that there  jam untuk mengganti userid. Saya juga
are systems which allow their user to   tahu ada sistem lain yang memungkin-
change their name more easily. So, the  kan usernya ganti-ganti userid. Jadi,
point is trust. I believe those guys    yang penting kepercayaan. Saya yakin
are really exist. In fact, I think this orang2 yang posting di A.c.i betul2
is painless for me, why should I think  ada dan memang itu paling gampang, 
of possibilities like: "Hey, this guy   untuk apa curiga2 "Mungkin orang ini
is probably a girl" and stuffs :-)      aslinya wanita" dll.
It's kinda fun if somebody tries to use Pasti lucu juga kalau ada yang coba
weird names like "Arnold Schwarzeneger" pakai nama "Arnold Schwarzeneger" 
or even "Bill Clinton" but talk about   atau malah "Bill Clinton", dan yang
Koo Ping Ho series, or worse still,     mereka post artikel tentang serial
flames or obscenities. This newsgroup   Koo Ping Ho, atau untung bukan makian
has a considerably decent subscribers   atau kata2 ca*ul. (what's the *? :-)
that I don't find too many four-letter  Pelanggan A.C.I cukup sopan dan jarang
words in the articles posted.           memakai kata2 kasar di artikelnya.

In short, I dunno. I don't know which   Pendeknya, <ngga tau deh>. Saya tidak
is more important between: What is      tahu mana yang lebih penting, apa yang
spoken and who is speaking. Hmm, like   di-sampaikan, atau siapa yang menyam-
somebody said in his article (not my    paikan. Ada yang bilang (bukan saya):
own opinion, behold!), seniority still  (terjemahannya apa ya?) masih pegang
has important role in our community.    peranan besar dalam lingkungan kita.
I try to use another wording, OK ? :-)  Saya pake kata2 lain, tidak apa2 kan?
Whoever said that, I hope he wouldn't   Semoga yang post artikelnya tidak ma-
be upset that I "changed a little bit". rah kata2nya saya ganti sedikit.

Just take me as a passerby, anonymous   Anggap saja saya <numpang lewat>,
passerby, talkative anonymous passerby, tidak tahu siapa, sedikit cerewet,
or whatever I might be called. I don't  dan apa lagi terserah. Saya tidak
mind if you call me by Mr.Anon5394.     keberatan dipanggil "bung Anon5394"
Guys at anon.penet.fi gave me that      Orang2 di Finlandia yang kasih saya
name :-), just like our parents gave    nama itu, seperti juga orang tua kita
us our names without our agreement.     kasih kita nama tanpa persetujuan 
(I remember one of my friend is always  kita kan ? :-) Ada teman saya yang..
upset if we mention why his last name   hmm, <tidak ada terjemahannya, sorry>
is Gross -- not gross words, but that's
the name "Gross").

Thanks for your compliment (and also.   Terimakasih buat komplimennya, dan
your e-mail, thanx), Bambang.           tidak lupa juga e-mailnya, Bambang.
Don't worry too much, OK ? :-)          Jangan terlalu dipusingkan, OK ? :-)
