Stop the Flame between Tmyint and J

Flame regarding Chinese-Burmese !!

Recent flames from Tmyint@indiana----  and  desert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Tun Myint and John Shein) should be given attention. 

Two point transpired  from their writings that "BurmaNet  should be used only for Burma affairs (by Tun Myint)" and " Anybody should have access to it without restriction. If not, it's is a kind  of  like  apartheid polic
y in S. Africa before Mandella  became president (by John Shein)."

Of course, Internet is Anarchy and anybody can practically have access to any public bulletin board. But,  THERE IS AN ORDER IN THIS ANARCHY. That's why there are thousands of bulletin boards  depending on the contrives, 
nationalities, hobbies, governments, businesses, etc....etc.. So BurmaNet is allocated for Burma affairs. Thai Net is allocated for Thais. ChinaNet is allocated for Chinese. Logically, it would be confusing out of control
   if  people of different interests post on different boards and vice versa. So, Leave BurmaNet only for the Burmese Affairs alone. We don't want to read China's or Thailand's or Vietnam's or France's or Germany's or any
 other country on this earth's affairs on our BurmaNet. 

Now the catch comes. Burmese Affairs definitely means the affairs of  all the indigenous nationalities inhibiting in Burma. " Nationalities of Foreign Origins " such as Chinese, Indians (Tamils, Hindis, Muslims), Pakistan
is, Illegal Chinese form Yunan, Illegal Rohingyas from Bangladesh ..so on and so forth are never counted  as Burmese nationalities   by the  Burmese Nationalities (such as  "Burmans" ," Shans" , "Karesns", "Kachins", "Ara
kans", "Karennis", "Mons" ....  so forth). Only indigenous nationalities  are counted as Burmese nationalities.  Most of them( meaning "nationalities of foreign origins in Buurma) don't consider themselves as Burmese (alm
ost 99.9 % as far as I can make it out) even though they might hold Burmese citizenship which they obtain by certain ways. It is a harsh reality  for both sides. 
	But, since they or their ancestors are living or lived in Burma, it is logical that they also want to talk about Burma at least in the areas of culture, economics, and especially on the matters that will affect their com
munities in Burma or  outside Burma.
	So, What they and the Burmese should do  is   LEAVE BURMA-NET FOR THE   BURMESE ( MEANING "FOR ALL INDIGENOUS NATIONALITIES OR THE COUNTRY  WHICH IS CALLED BURMA),  AND OTHER NATIONALITIES OF FOREIGN ORIGINS SHOULD SET U
P BULLETIN  BOARDS SUCH AS "SOC.CULTURE.BURMA-CHINESE", "SOCIAL.CULTURE.BURMA-INDIANS", "SOC.CULTURE.BURMA-BANGALDESHIS"," SOC.CULTURE.BURMA-YUNANA-CHINESE," " SOC.CULTURE.BURMA-WHATEVER"  for their own affairs and intere
sts.  In this way, nobody will be bothering anybody else. ( Strider should be helping them out to set up little  sub-culture Burma-nets in the future... what do you say  Strider and Coban ???? )

-Sounds good , John  Shein and Tun Myint ?????

By the way, Let me provide  some facts  regarding John Shein's comment 
on Why English (WHAT HE  CONSIDERS "GREAT ENGLISH LANGUAGE") is being 
used as the only medium on the NET.  In the near future when Softwares 
( which w
ill be integrated into our Internet Softwares)  that can  interpret 
ASCII or BINARY data  of  different languages are coming out. Very 
Soon. Then, we will be able to post our own language on our own  
bulletin boards (Arab
ic or Chinese or Japanese ......). Read and Write our own languages on 
the Net , then !!!  So we will be able to discard the language what 
John considers GREAT ENGLISH LANGUAGE  once and for good. The fact is 
that "U.S. N
ATIONAL LABORATORIES AT LOS ALAMO" is working on the  project which is 
aimed at interpreting and translating different languages into computer 
languages ( a project which is above my head because I did not learn  
computer
 science). FOR TWICE, I HAD TO TRANSLATE TWO LONG BURMESE ARTICLES INTO 
ENGLISH WHICH WHERE SENT TO ME BY FAX  AND SENT BACK TO LOS ALAMO BY 
E-MAIL. THE LADY WHO IS IN CHARGE OF  THE  SECTION ON BURMESE LANGUAGE 
IS CALLED
 "JUDITH  HOCHBERG." SHE GOT ME ON THE  NET. She explains in details 
about the project. So, I am waiting for the day when  GREAT ENGLISH 
LANGUAGE CAN BE DISCARDED AS GARBAGE.	
-If you want to lern more about this project ask  Judith  at " 
judithh@xxxxxxxxx" She is a nice lady.

Take care, guys..
