Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 All, I don't think it is only a matter of adapting browsers to different encodings. It is also a matter of comitting to a degree of courtesy toward opinions that are not always popular here. I remember that a very bright TCM nurse tried to contribute to one of the listservices but was very poorly treated, indeed insulted from a Chinese perspective, because her image of TCM was conditioned by East Asian attitudes.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi Bob, Yes, i see the issue here, especially after that little episode before. I'm sure there may be a few hitches, but i think there needs to be more of a bridge between the various cultures and languages involved in TCM and I hope this list can become the bridge. Of course they'll be differences, whether theoretical or cultural. Members will all have to be on their best behaviour as ambassadors to the West. Myself and Marco will be moderating the English side of things with a tighter grip, whilst a Korean, Japanese and Chinese speakers will have to be found to moderate the Asian messages coming through. For the meantime, i'll try and twist my wife's arm into checking the Korean and Chinese texts. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Attilio " Robert L.
