Dear Anh Trung,

  Thanks for the Online reply. It seems to me that Offline is a typical 
Vnmese Product and a bad label to stamp on others.

  Hm. Vnmese ISP forget about the good tradition:
   "Cha? gio`" is called "Nem Sa`i goo`ng " in Ha` no^.i and "Cha? Ha` 
no^.i" in Sa`i go`n.

 Cheers
Aiviet
