Hi Tog,
Thanks for your feedback. It would appear that we are on the same boat on the words. They are really hard to translate exactly into English. Speaking of Kung Fu, I was one of the first "foreigner" who ordered the book written by Grand Master Leong (or Leung) from Malaysia in the late 50s/early 60s. He was a well traveled Martial Arts expert who fits the description of Master that you just gave, in every way. He was an undefeated wrestling champion here in the US then. He even took on a well known police Jujitsu instructor from New York City. Until that time, the book was supposed to be top secret and were only shared with faithful practitioners. I still have it, although it is buried somewhere in the house. I wonder if you even heard of him?

The reason for the low number of postings, at least for my part, is mostly because of timing and time. And a lesser part, lack of relevance to issues that are of interest to me.

Timing in the sense that sometimes when I log on and click new posts, obviously, the post that are 4 or 5 hours old or older, will not show up, and there might be a thread of interest, that had I seen it, would have posted a response. Couple that with the fact that I do not read every thread because I do not have anything to contribute, or have no particular inclination for. Even those that I read, I oftentimes feel uncomfortable responding to, either by disagreement or lack of experience or knowledge thereof. In the case of the latter, I save any information that pertains to my objectives.

As for time, I would love to be doing this all day long, but dang it!, work keeps getting in the way . . . . .
