Just a note, we have very notable members on ATS which live in China that have somehow broken 'free' from the oppresive Chinese internet suppresion and frequently access ATS. I would post a name but...well, not sure if its right or not. But if you've been on the boards long enough, I'm sure you can pick up on who it is.
