    Mirhond:

    Ok, you guys are doing better now. For the last several posts you've had a good English writer doing the posts. That is important on this site. When you guys go over to a college age site the 'I'm a poor speaker of English' bit will get you some sympathy, but not around here. Old guys don't fall for that so easy.

    But you are still making some errors more suited to a college age site. For example, you claim to have participated in some demonstrations. Again, college age girls will swoon over that, 'Oh, he's so dreamy.'. But here we figure it's just a barroom brag. We just nod our heads and say 'Yea right.'

    Next, mix things up a little. Lately you've been trotting out one 'fallacy' after another. It reads like your lead guy gave your best English writer a list of 'fallacies' to emphasize. Or barring that, 'fallacy' was the last chapter you studied on one of your classes. You're seeing zebras. (extra points if you get that reference.)

    So all in all, you are doing a little better. But still not good enough. Remember you have a tradition and reputation to uphold. Here in the West we are conditioned to think of you guys as Moscow Centre, Karla, the guys who ran Kim Philby, the Walker ring and all that. We haven't been associating you with lazy and clumsy. Come on man! You can do better. Vlad and the other siloviki are counting on you!
