I agree with you Rasdan, definitely. I always take another option of not confronting to avoid friction that may lead to closure of thread. I will do my best to keep this forum alive and beneficial to me and the others.
Talking about keris, my opinion is best is to get as many natives to participate in this forum, at least the outside world would be able to learn or observe something that have not been circulated in outside world. I am sure Dave or Paul De Souza spent lots of money and time to learn, participate and witness in Indonesia and Malay Peninsular. However, this forum has made it possible for us to come nearer than ever.
