I saw an interesting TV show here in HK a few days ago, it was about a new style of marketing. Instead of paying advertisers to, well, advertise their new mobile phone/cameras, a company in the States paid good-looking guys and girls to go out onto the street and ask people to take their photo with their new camera-phone, usually resulting, of course, in some people askinjg "Where did you get THAT?" Totally unethical, but effective.

It seems that - possibly - there is a similar marketing ploy being used here on this forum. Surely AKA - among others - MUST be paid by EF English Farce to go around forums 'talking up' China and EF.......?

PMs are welcomed on this or any other matter regarding "AKA".

What warranted this attack?!?!? (I have been following some of the China threads, and hooooo boy, the antagonism!!!)

My first thought was to respectfully ask you to keep the flaming to the China forum, but that hardly seemed fair to the many China forum members, so how about just stopping it?

He was banned for flaming the China forums when he was Bertrand, wanderlust, and WinstonSmith. No reason to see why he'd stop now, or why he'd stay away when he gets banned again.
