It doesn't make sense. my point exactly! i don't get it - this intially led me to post this comment in the first place. what really points into the direction of spam in my opinion is using the different names mentioned of stopforumspam. and that others went as far as reporting it. > So I > am led to believe that the peculiarities you mention are probably a > cultural (or personal) issue. possible. but what makes it even more confusing is that this doesn't go well with my experience of chinese people having a hard time with english (i can't really put my finger on it, but it doesn't feel right) and how they react to "hey, you're doing X wrong, thats rude". not meaning to stereotype, it just made it more suspicious.
