For this one, it is other member reply to me, so I think
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/7/117 is more suitable as the last related
thread of my reply.

Isn't this thread qualified with the 3 requirements ?

  1. match the original contents.
  2. say opinion clearly.
  3. with proof.

For this one, at least now, I still stick to my opinion: "what he said
is not quite precise".

But since the related member wants stopping discussion, so I stop (in
fact, for the related details contents, he is the last one reply, not
me). :-)

Discussing does not mean arguing.

Since we are both Chinese, one Chinese sentence is "Jun Zi He Er Bu Tong".

excuse me, my English is not quite well, could you (or other Chinese
members) please help to translate it into English ?

Thanks.
