Xin, I'd like to discuss this issue with you by some means other than email. Could you please phone me at (646) 461-3412 (my Google Voice call forwarding number, New York, NY); or is Skype voice chat okay? (Those are my preferred options.) Or how about IRC or MSN text discussion? I can summarize the results of our conversation to the mailing list afterwa= rds.
