Dear Mr Opinion,

Everybody can say that. However, I think very few people may know what they are. What I am depends partially of how I come across to others. I can't admit what I am because I keep changing. Sometimes I am happy being what I am. Sometimes I am very dissatisfied being what I am. When I was much younger I was bragging about myself. A man heard me and said, "Self-praise stinks!" That remark has stayed with me.

david f,

It's good to see you are on the ball.

Now go and have a look at my last post in Articles section under 'The China Syndrome'.

Mr O,

I told you in that discussion to contact Canberra
with your concerns. You replied that you thought it
better to contact Gladys Liu or Mr Andrew Forrest
instead.

No. I think you'd be better off getting in touch with:

Ambassador Cheng Jingye
at the - Embassy of the People's Republic of China
15 Coronation Drive
Yarralumla ACT 2600

Tel: (02) 6228-3998

Or your local Chinese take-away.

Your choice.

Dear Mr Opinion,

I looked at your post in the China Syndrome and don't see its relevance to my comment.

david f,

I'm sorry to hear that.

But the good news on the TV tonight is that Soot Morrison is hiring 500 cyber agents to combat China's cyber hacking attacks so there could be a job for you in the making.

Mr O,

David F., is an Oxford Professor in his 90s.
We are privileged to have him on this forum.
He doesn't need a job. But you could definitely
learn some lessons in manners.
