Dear Mr. Teo En Ming of Singapore,

We prefer to keep topics limited to Ubuntu here. For those of us who 
would like to discuss the going ons of the Internet, we would do it on 
the sounder list and even then preferably related to Ubuntu. Please 
refrain from using the ubuntu-users list like slashdot. There are no 
brownie/karma/whateveryoucallit points to be gained here.

However, if you have some suggestions as to how to gain the interest of 
persons managing China's large foreign currency war chest in investing 
in Ubuntu for China, please do join and post on the sounder list.

regards,

fellow member of ubuntu-users list
