This they have done and I have no issues with them. My copyright is somewhat like Creative Commons license, but since CC has yet to pass into law in Singapore, I am applying the CC spirit here.<BR/><BR/>I am glad they did the editing though, because some paragraphs are probably better off not printed either because they are crude and/or not central to subject at hand, or represents a mental verbal deviation (whatever that is). But that's the nature of blogs - they aren't meant for publication in their entirety in mainstream media. One doesn't have to be too careful about 'proper' or formal English constructs. My day job, however, requires that so its fun to be able to 'speak' on another 'level' through my blogs.<BR/><BR/>The 'stiff upper-lip' and 'polite' speech can be so stifling at times.Epilogoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968473646396892520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21070055.post-68352709779101894052008-10-03T22:49:00.000+08:002008-10-03T22:49:00.000+08:00Hi Epilogos.

I like your play of the words circus horses with Ferrari's logo.<BR/><BR/>I just have one question. Did the Today newspaper ask for your permission before printing your piece in their paper?

I am a citizen too, and I have watched every F1 race for the past 6 years. I too think that Singapore F1 is too much hype and no substance. I feel it is inferior to Monaca and Valencia this year. Feel free to form your own opinions but be objective. And be aware of how much is just hype.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
