Quote from: Prufrock on February 10, 2025, 11:53:28 AMI for one would appreciate it if the expression could be edited out. I would hate for someone who has been on the receiving end of such expressions delivered maliciously to be faced with the same again here, no matter how innocent the intention. Thank you

I can't imagine that anyone from China would be remotely offended by the post since - reading the entire thing in context - it is actually complimentary of China. Economically they are the future. But Anthony can remove it if he likes.

Thank you for the permission Justin.  I have edited it out.

Motivation. I'm focussed on getting Optio ready for publication right now. Also really need to do an article for Slingshot as I've promised one for so long. I will get back to this eventually.
