Hi Bassago! Thank you, for the warm welcome. I haven't really been hiding in any other threads, just been doing drive-by readings lately.
I didn't want to be a thread crasher, so I began reading at page one of this great thread and got to page five before I realized I may be better off to start at the end and work backwards.
like you, Charles, I have problems finding the 'right' emoticons. Does this mean 'monkey'? or, is it 'mmmm k'?
Well, I got to page 50 (going backwards from 54) and have taken a few notes of things I'd like to comment on; however, I think I've come to one conclusion on this thread (whether reading forwards or backwards) that I may wait until I can grab a glass of wine and really snuggle into the conversations. Speaking of wine, Guohua (how ya doing, btw?), I love cold rice wine and would drink it with sushi, back in 'the day'. I'd often get very giddy, if the sushi didn't come fast enough. How do they get so much alcohol in those itty bitty cups?

It's the third most replied to thread in the members forum in the history of, well, forever.
You are not adding any "fluff" to the thread, in time you'll learn that. You're adding "you" to the thread

DISRAELI, have you come up with any ideas on how to approach ATS posters with serious, religious topics? I wouldn't mind a few ideas, I tend to simply respond.
