<br>
This is information of whatever anyone might choose to call it from Leo, shades no light to present discussion at hand.<br>
To me, this is a clear defamation and personal attack to this "Lu Heng” guy. <br>
This is a clear violation of the Code of Conduct and there should be no question whether this is a personal attack or not. <br>
<br>
Best, <br>
Elvis.<br>
