I've only returned insult for gratuitous insult, Harris.  I find your post below one of them.
 
Poster: Doug_Harris <cats22 at STNY.RR.COM>Subject: Re: ChinglishI think some have offered Mr Truspel a pretty clear-soundingF-off a time or two -- not without reason.dh So why don't you in turn F- off.  You're the one who said ~cheenglish is "impossible to say", while others have said that's the way they say it.
 
Sorry to the forum to have to respond to these knuckleheads.  I'm sure in the futures this bonebrain will do as he suggests to us all and ignore my posts never to reply to me or to those who reply to me again.
