haha! thanks for asking. I think I've finally figured out the answer for myself. I think we're all here 'cos we're bored and cho bo lan. So when I'm bored, I enjoy a lively exchange of ideas. Strangely enough, gin does sometimes have the occasional nugget of info in her posts, not often but once in a while. This thread for example explained pancit derivation for me. I already knew about lumpia. So that's why I'm here reading in the 1st place.
As to why I bother writing to her specifically, well, let's just say I'm training up my customer service skills to not lose my cool when a customer starts acting like this. This is the cheapest and safest form of customer service training I'm conducting on myself. So in some crazy fashion, she is actually providing me a service for free if she blows up and starts spewing nonsense. Believe it or not, her type is quite common. If she doesn't blow up, then I still get to exercise my brain cells when writing. Win 1 way, win 2 ways.
tio boh?
or maybe I'm also siao...
edit : oh and I forgot one thing. other people like yourself also read her threads, maybe I can provide community service like ultimaonline posting info and do good deed for the day.
