     Well, Mr. Ngai, I could respond in the same immature vein you did
and say:    
 
      "I think you're just a <INSERT RACIAL\ETHNIC\WHATEVER SLUR>"
 
     but I think I'll exercise more self-control and intelligence than
you did.  No point in sinking down to your level. 

     
      I generally have the respect for the net to keep flames in E-Mail,
but hey, if you want to start something, I'll happily finish it. 

      I feel absolutely no need to explain one damn thing to such a
rude and boorish person such as yourself. Next time try engaging
a CPU before your I/O.
