no; this time they made a bit hard work Oct 10, 2010

Hi,
In deed its good work; or rather hard work!!
From last one year our fellow translators are making mimics of the scam writers and commenting on there language, sentencing, grammar, even offered rates and options and so on...... being ditched so badly; that they might have decided to take some efforts, to look like genuine to new beeees and may trick with users.

We should appreciate their efforts!
