Likewise. Still, IF you are Asian, then I would like to meet you. If you are Farang.....then...probably... Forget about it. (All Farang with a PhD...are welcome to contact me. SERIOUSLY.)

No. My Gmail account mentions bestiality, and also something else, more unmentionable.

Before my first appearance as OCH.... I was .... Daphne du Maurier

Dear Crossy, Is this true? I have heard that OldChinaHam had his own writing style. But, obviously, OCH's writing style is not like mine. Correct? In fact, it should be possible, in a perfect world, to change writing styles....almost... At will. I have tried to do so .... Many times. Unfortunately, I have never been able to quite completely shed one persona for the next. And so, this "OCH persona" has continued to dog me, no matter how hard I have tried to rid myself of the smell of it. After all... Ham is Ham... No matter how you slice it.... And, Some just do not like pork.

Dear Folks, Some time ago, maybe today, some NITWIT sent me a PM and asked me to change my writing style. I would most happily oblige, except that.... I, me, myself, and I, have NO writing style. Asking me to change my writing style would be like asking Sir Alec to remove his White Suit. According to this MEMBER, I cause affront. Affront is not my intention, I can assure you. It is only most of the NITWIT Farangs in Thailand that cause me affront. So, anyway.... If you wish me to stop posting.... And.... I think that you do.... Then.... I will. I will not submit my blessed scribblings where they are not appreciated. And, if this makes your day..... Then, I am very happy to have been of some service to you. Best regards,...and.... As always.... Gamma

Please, Sir, do not give in to Thailand's climate. aa. I remain at 22 during the day. I stay at about 19 or 20 at night. This costs a bit in power bills, but it is worth it. bb. TSMC was built by the USA. I have been there. HsinChu is one of the crappiest places you would ever want to visit. Not fit for man nor beast. Not joking. cc. Please visit Taiwan, at your earliest opportunity, and then see for yourself, just how crappy the BingLang ladies truly are. They look good on YouTube. But, up close? SKANKY!

Talk about a SWAN SONG! So... If you do not mind: Then, please allow.....

Here is a tip. I am going.

Looks to me as if you are pretending to be Mr. Mellow Yellow. Unfortunately, your brains are not sharp enough to put a fine enough point on your barb. Whatever you say, just seems to fall short. Can't you do better? Come on, Felix. Lemmon could do so far better!

Here, Squirt: Listen to this!

In the future, I will not call you, Sir....OK? Instead, I will call you: Cyrano de Bergerac...because..... Your profile name has ALWAYS made me think of Cyrano. Would you mind my doing so? Or, do you have some other name you might prefer? Or, what about a different title or honorific? But, for sure, I will never, again, call you, "Sir", Sir. Rest assured!

No worries, Sir. I have made up my mind to improve my comments, in a very substantive way, beginning this New Chinese Lunar New Year. I will do my best. Please rest assured! You will soon see. (I give you my word!)

Nurses are better in Indonesia and Thailand. Best reason to live in Thailand, rather than Hawaii.

My deepest apologies to you, Sir. I will do my utmost to improve my comments in the future. Please, rest assured!

Maybe you need a filter? You seem to be exhibiting, at the moment, a very HIGH... Noise to Signal Ratio.... Just my humble opinion....

Years ago, while Smalley was still alive, and still at Rice, I read, on his uni website, his tribute to his mother, who he credited for his path and dedication to the Natural Sciences. This was a long and loving document which, I guess, has since been taken down from the Rice website, after Smalley's death. In the past, I watched many of Smalley's lectures and talks on YT. Some of these seem to have, unfortunately, gone missing. Smalley was a very caring and dedicated scientist. Obviously, he touched very many around the world. He even, deeply, touched me. (Smalley kept on working, even after being diagnosed with the Big C. He is one who TRULY deserved the Nobel, and for very many reasons.)

aa. To be completely candid, Mr. C., I have read very many of your comments here on TV, and I can honestly say, truthfully, that you have never written a word which I did not agree with. bb. In addition, it was my error that I did not realize that the opinions that you quoted, which I do not agree with, were actually spouted by my favorite AI, Bard/Gemini, a fool if there ever was one. cc. Fortunately for TV, we have great mods like you, still. dd. My only worry is that there may come a day when you will decide to retire, and perhaps, even a day when my favorite AI will take your place. And, in this case, it will truly be a sorry day for this forum. ee. Concerning super-smart students from China, they often astound me with their brilliance, as well as their dedication to hard work and study, from dawn to 10:00PM, every day, including weekends. But, such dedication of Chinese/Taiwanese students to study is not new to me. ff. Before I end this comment, I would wish to let you know that.... When I am about to finish a solid-90-minute class with a very young Chinese student, the ONLY question they ask is: Take care, Mr. C. You are the BEST!

Excuse me, Mr. C., however, I think this suggestion of yours is just far too dumbed down for my super-smart 10-year-old Chinese students. How long has it been since you taught a precocious 10-year-old? Over a generation ago, at least, I would imagine. And, since that time, the Flynn Effect, which I am sure you know something about, has proven true, once more. Children, especially in China, are getting smarter, by the generation. So, Mr. C., maybe there truly is hope for the future, for the future of these smart children, and I hope so. Every day, I am amazed at just how smart some of these children truly are. And, as I say, their understanding of the world, and their ability to do insightful analysis of their reality, is FAR and Away, beyond what I recall was typical of most children when I was growing up. But, of course, there were some kids, like Chomsky, back in the day, who were smarter than the kids, these days. Still, Nim Chimpsky was the exception. And, he remains the exception at age 95. Chinese students are amazing. They can stay focused in class for 90 minutes, and think nothing of it. The Asians are taking over the Natural Sciences at American universities. While, the Americans are escaping into the Social Sciences because they are easy. Don't take my word for it. IF a Chinese eight-year-old can stay completely focused in class, for 60 minutes, then you know that it will be the Asians who will do the very hard work in American universities. There are no better students than the young Chinese students. Wait an see..... I am just paraphrasing Richard Smalley, of Rice University. Don't blame me, Mr. C. Gamma....

So. Are you the guy on TV who teaches Physics at one of the local universities? I have forgotten, now. I once knew. Maybe it is you?

Bard will not be offended. I already asked Gemini if I may still refer to it as Bard. Gemini told me I could call him Ray....

No...actually... Garbage in... Garbage out.... Is just a phrase often used by CIS guys.

I think you meant Gemini... Not Bard.

Garbage in... Garbage out.... Is this what you are saying?

I am most surely an intellectual, in the purest sense of the word. Although, I must admit, I am one of those purest of intellectuals with a very limited intelligence. And so, I must play the cards I was dealt, for better or for worse.

Sorry. I did not understand your ill-posed question, perhaps. What is it about CMB that you wish to know, REALLY? I will do my best to reply....
