@Geezer, it seems like it's their staff who are back again in that earlier reply. I wonder how many new dummy accounts they created to cast votes for this year's award...

On another Website I am connected with, we got around the problem of 'bogus' accounts using privileges, by only allowing those members who have made 25 contributory posts to use the privilege.

Postings like, 'yes', 'nice one', 'agree with you mate', etc. are considered non-contributory.

Mei's Mandarin is another choice worth considering. I enjoyed my time studying there in the past and know many students who are very happy there. [Disclaimer: they are affiliated to the English language school where I work].

I plan on attend KUST next fall as an absoulte beginner to Mandarin. Can anyone cobtribute some current information on that school? Most of what i have come across is a bit dated.

found your school already？
