Well that's weird. I did a search via google for the subject of the first
two and came up with a symbol for symbol identical news release (about the
protests) on a news site...I was able to figure it out because I was using
Google to translate the page. Next question is how in the heck did it get
into my inbox...could be a certain government is collecting E-mails of
people writing other people in country- but using them then for political
spam??

Bizarre.

Anyway, sorry to derail you all..but I figured the best place to ask if
someone read Chinese was a tea group, after all...
