Hi,
What was the guy called - Carl Po, Pot Po, can't remember - anyhow. Welcome
to your world!
In uk.telelcom people routinely post what they feel like, where they feel,
etc.
Further, that is the principle and idea of a newsgroup.
I am sorry it causes you some upset.
Averting your eyes, I trust, is not such a pain, incursion, intrusion, or
difficulty for you? (I hope not anyhow - or something may be or is severely
upset, wrong, difficult, etc. for you).
Anyhow - let's agree to differ. This is a public forum.
Best wishes,
News Reader
P.s. I particularly like the bit about "the correct response is" / the world
according to Mark! - I am not a dictator just do it and like it the way I
want !
.
P.p.s. Some of these posts are actually interesting and useful. I find it
refreshing to see some reasonably mindful Chinese spam rather than the usual
garbage - albeit it should not be their at all. However, sometimes posts are
informative, on topic and useful yet some of the most stringent might call
it "spam". Bye for now.
