Let me congratulate you on your 6th posting so far .....and what a little gem it was too......"I'm sure you [DonRon] will be the first to let us know if he [bloodyron] screams seeing you are so far up there all the time". OUCH !!!! that's a bit personal isn't it Touriste....what exactly did I do to deserve that ?
but I tell you, it probably rates right up there Touriste with these other pearlers from your war chest of wisdom:

the Ido restriction is 50 Mill Rupiah not 50K
You wrote: "Ido? Do you mean 'Indonesian' restriction / limit? Yes, you are correct it is 50 million rp not 50K and ex-Australia is $10,000 AUD. As long as you are taking LESS THAN these amounts out of Australia or Indonesia, you do not have to declare".

You wrote: Personal thoughts....If someone takes the time to do a JBR then how about they also take a moment, and review it before posting. It is not difficult to hit the return / enter key. No-one need take {offense}. It is an observation and a suggestion. I don't see it as being a criticism at all. Your post reminds me of Tom Cruise telling the 60 Minutes reporter to 'mind his manners'".
and finally on the same thread:

You wrote: "Either you have your tongue firmly in your cheek or you need to get out more. How hilarious it is to read posts where someone gets really fired up over something which is not even Bali related. Thanks you have brightened my day !!!! I see you know what an exclamation mark is for. Well done !!!!
and except for one more posting on Wednesday, 16. August 2006 when you asked the forum for help and information about restaurants in the Sanur area...... yep......that's about your entire contribution to this forum isn't it 'Touriste' old cobber.
Well bloodyron's contribution goes well beyond that china.....sure he has a bit of a crack at some on here....but you need to read his posts with a bit of tongue in cheek....not only does he help with advice on here ..... he walks the walk when it comes to the Balinese people....as many know he lives in Sanur and has contributed funds to local villagers to buy fishing boats to keep the village in food. Here is a guy that opens his wallet and actually helps when most of us on here can only sympathise. So before you criticise take a really soul searching look at yourself my friend.
Oh....and by the way offense is spelled offence and criticsm is spelled criticism, that is....as you would say 'an observation and a suggestion. I don't see it as being a criticism at all'.
Now... (if I may return the personal comment) .....I won't excite the electrons in that pea sized brain of yours by trying to defend myself on here albeit that your comment was a bit below the belt old chap....I'll allow other forum users to do a search on my ID and they can form their own opinion regarding my contribution here.
But before signing off I would like to end by quoting Tom Cruise properly:
Touriste...... 'PUT YOUR MANNERS BACK IN'.....and Have a nice day
Ohhhhh.........and I notice a late run by Zonder.....attacking dozy for defending me and bloodyron......
I have browsed through your posts too Z and found most very informative and helpful, I really gave you more credit than that mate.....but I do have some advice for you that might be appropriate here......
'don't lay with dogs cos' ya know you'll get up with fleas......'.
