This guy knows no english. I respect his freedom, I said that
did not I? I just wish to understand the rationale. Since you are
complaining that a slashdot like bbs is not present for SLP,
which we have planned, and NOW you want to do it, WHY did
you not do it in the portal?

Elvin, I will spend the money and sue you. linux.com.sg was NEVER
mine. Notice the domain name is linux.com.sg and NOT RAYMOND.com.sg!

Neither am I. You are too ignorant. Do you know what we are trying
to do now with all those reviews? Do you know that we are going to
meet Compaq (oh... you wish it so much , don't you?)? Do you want
us to meet them empty handed?
