April 2, 2009 at 5:41 AMThanks for indulging me Pete.Very good,haha :)
Given the global economic crisis,I'd like to reply by taking the liberty of adapting a famous Wilde quote to the times:
The only thing worse than working,is not working.

Can't answer your question mate,but it somehow reminds me of the start of Treasure Island where Billy Bones is sussing out the situation by asking Jim Hawkins about the Admiral Benbow.Perhaps it relates to kids being more likely to be outdoors and free to talk ,or more likely to give an open honest answer,or the asker not wanting to give too much away.All just speculation of course.

No worries mate.These things happen with computers from time to time.Not the end of the world,and not time to sweep my tomb.Do you have a nice poetic quote for us though to help us keep things in perspective and give us some solace? Something philosophical perhaps or something along astronomy lines.When I look at the scope of time and space represented in the stars I gaze upon it sure helps my keep my little cares in perspective.

April 2, 2009 at 3:42 AM哇；老王在这里；怎么 will this tie in with the Intermediate series?
我希望老王不着禽流感和死
What other animal related calamity/indignity is to befall poor old 老王? First his squid was fried 炒鱿鱼，现在 it looks like he's gonna contract bird flu.What next;get into the dogmeat trade and contract rabies,or perhaps contract PANDAS disease and go mad?

April 2, 2009 at 2:25 AMInterested in the use of 个 the measure word in replace of 1's.I suppose one is most commonly say somewhere between 1 and 9 of something.Still one can use ge adjacent to larger numbers hey?
比如说∶亿个人
Any other comments on the use of 个 here.

April 2, 2009 at 1:58 AMwhoa;the comments section seems to have just lost over 12 hours worth of comments.I've also just had a PM disappear.When the tech guys are finished sorting out the current probs,could you let us know whether these are all permanently lost or not?

April 2, 2009 at 1:33 AMI meant to add that poor 老王 has had his squid fried,looks like he's about to contract bird flu,so I'm just wondering what other indignity/misfortune is going to be thrown his way? Expanding his business into dogmeat and catching rabies? Contracting PANDAS and going mad?

我希望老王不着禽流感。
I hope you're not planning to kill poor unfortunate 老王off with bird flu as a way of ending the series.

Ouch;I feel your pain buddy.A lot of work goes into those posts and are much appreciated by the community.I think these sort of glitches have occured after previous maintenance sessions in the past and I'm now realising that perhaps we should make a backup copy of such posts around the times the site seems to be playing up until it all seems to be running smoothly,particularly for such an important post.Good luck mate,I hope we get your post back particularly.
