This is ridiculous, this goes to show how ignorant you are.
You think all editors here work by writing articles? Some
work just by designing logos, some work just by giving money,
some work just by giving us hardware, some work just by
just liasing with external vendors.
Do you know the work involved? You HAVE COMPLETELY
NO IDEA.

It was ALL in the emails. Even the fact that linux.org.sg was owned
by LUGS, you are NOT conscientious that is all.

The site is never ready, and will NEVER be ready.
What do you mean by ready, a state of matters in which nothing
needs to be done? Fat hope, that state can never be reached.

This is ridiculous, so you think this website is done in my honour?
How often do you find my name appearing in Singapore Linux Portal
other than the reviews I have made (2 so far) and the editors' list?
ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU MIRROR RUFUS AND PUT YOUR
NAME IN PLACE OF DANIEL'S NAME. A lack of intellectual
attribution seems to reflect a lot on you, right? You have a big ego,
I do not.

You want me to swear at you before you can understand, is it?
THINK of alternative to SOLVE the problem, there is NO point
telling me, I cannot accelerate the line for your usage. Setup a
ftp proxy somewhere and goddamn ftp the whole damn thing over
first. I only hear you whine and in end I still get no solution from
you! Do you really have a problem or Do you need me to babysit you
or what?!?!
Do you need to argue with me ONCE A WEEK? You are testing
my patience you know? Why are there no PROBLEMS with other
editors? ONLY YOU HAVE PROBLEMS!

I said, life will find a way. Read more about social darwinism, perhaps
you can understand what I am trying to say. Do not try to guess my
meaning,.
