- Hello Tin,
-
- Just one technical comment: This sounds like a political statement/
- commentary, so why have you not used alt.politics.vietnamese? or at least
- cross-posting it? The newsgroup was created for exactly that purpose :-))
-
- Please do not mis-understand me: I like alt.politics.vietnamese!
-
- No, no other comment from me :-))
-
- Regards,
- H.H. Nguyen
-
- P.S. Now, another problem is how to define "politics" :-))
