And on a side note we appreciate you being a mod and making things right. Regarding the racism, while some of the comments might seem that way I think atleast for myself my intention is not of a racists nature. It's just trying to explain and point out the diff between us and them. My wife is Chinese and I see many of the same culture diff in our relationship as I can see at work. But in no way I am a racist. I would say I'm a realist.

For myself as I am sure others we are fortunate to have these jobs and make the kind of salary we do. In the 5 years here I've managed to pay off my car, bikes , and house while still putting enough savings away to not worry if I don't get that dream job at a major. As a matter of fact sometimes I get the feeling that once a company back home knows you worked in China it's like your spoiled fruit. Maybe it's just me.

I think what CS as well as myself have been trying to do is simply point out the realities. This is to give people a taste of the day to day life of actually being here.

Regarding Probe or others I have conflict with I take it with a grain of salt. I am sure that (and I'm not blowing sunshine here) they are probably good guys who just are venting some frustration and when they get told they are wrong then it becomes personal to them.

So I think some sarcasm and going back and forth is ok. But threats (the personal insults don't bother me much actually make me laugh) and talking about getting others outted isn't cool. But that's just my opinion....
