Running dog running scared - RPK
RPK的文章都很長，所以有很多人投訴，包括我，然後他有註明：
By the way, today’s article is not as long as my normal pieces, which would run into five-seven pages. Many readers posted complaints in the blogs saying that my pieces are too long and touch on too many issues at the same time; so they find it very hard to comprehend what my message is.
Many blame the writer, meaning me, for not being able to transmit the ‘right’ message, although I would rather blame the Malaysian education system -- because we had to write pages upon pages of comprehension pieces when we were in lower secondary school. The English teacher would give us one incomplete sentence of one line and we would have to complete that sentence with 1,800 words. So I suppose, since the age of 13, we had been ‘trained’ to take just one word or one sentence and make a thesis out of it.

各位鄉親，
因為您的電腦不穩定、網絡也不大穩定、伺服器不懂穩不穩定，所以建議您寫了長篇大論之後，先copy & paste在您的Notepad中，才按下「張貼意見」。因本站珍惜您的意見才有此忠告。皆因事有前例，友人長篇大論欲「泼」之時，電腦死機（俗稱「腦死」），他「幹」個不休。來電訴苦，我只聽到粗話，沒聽到留言內容。老夫子說：「真耐人尋味！」
