Hello Sir,

Need your opinion here:

Thanks in advance.

Hi... are you typing all that out from a book?

Need help in finding it onine? It looks painful to type all that text in the history thread.

Sir,
May i have your e-mail address?
Thanks.

Thought you and your family would be interested in this:

(The decline and fall of American English, and stuff)

I was poring over some of the old LCA threads and saw many good posts there by you. I did look at the 'Top Ten Military Commanders' thread but I don't think I will be of much help. I'm mostly here to learn. My knowledge is very limited I'm afraid. And I have to do a lot of research for my college work so my time is limited too.

Just a little suggestion: Could you post replies on my page so that I get a notification. It was just by luck that I happened to find your reply here.

Thanks a million. These are sometimes dry subjects, and it's a welcome relief to know they turned out readable. Which particular post did you have in mind when you wrote?

We need help on the thread Top Ten Military Commanders. If you have time and don't mind doing a little research, do join in.

Hi,

I really enjoy reading your posts. Very informative and your'e a very good writer as well. Makes it very easy to understand.

Regards.

Oh and hope you feel better about your cold

"About to reply your §124.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to be objective about these issues with Chinese hyper-patriots always patrolling the airwaves. While I was being blunt and unsparing about Indian military mistakes, and about Indian mistakes, Nehru's mistakes in foreign policy, I was an honoured and respected analyst. The moment I point out the garbled and distorted version of history deliberately put out by ephone, all of a sudden, the discussion has become partisan."

You really have misunderstood things. I was commenting on the general air of unfriendliness in that thread (which wasn't going anyways anyways) but if ephone was a bit hyper nationalistic, he would not be the only one on the interwebz. Again I can't really account for the behaviour of all my compatriots. They are as free as I to state their POV (esp. since I haven't been to China in 10+ years now )

No luck with the thing I showed you??

I figured it out though.. has to do with byte alignment.. but its restrictive.

I understand sir. As always, it is an immense pleasure to read your insights on such matters. Thank you, Abhishek.

Congrats.
Luckily it happened just after you posted your view in thread started by me "Your change in preception after joining the forum.

Hey congrats! I didn't know you served.

PS I'm still going to do that post on the PLA experience in Vietnam. I'm just not up to the task right now, but given time, I'll produce something passable and plagiarized from some much smart folks than I.

The Webmaster just informed me that they've re-designated me a Military Professional, and have scared the hell out of me. I feel totally inadequate, and don't feel I am fit to black the boots of the genuine soldiers, people like MuradK, for instance. There doesn't seem to be much choice but to try to live up to this responsibility, as best as I can. Please pray that I don't make an *** of myself in public.

With warm regards,

'Joe'

Joe,

I'm sure that you'll do just fine. Keep up the quality of your current posts and I doubt that you'll ever make an *** of yourself.

Congratulations again.

Congratulations on military professional. I look forward to reading your posts (as usual).
