I have to agree. Your input on your experience with your pension funds and how Chinese banks are dealing with it reflect an important aspect of life for foreign teachers in China as it may also happen to other people. So it's good know and a legitimate post about it on this board. Comparing that with what the Taffy poster used to post about, I can only say that the contents posted by the Taffy poster - for example about renovation work in his house or apartment in China - is hardly of any interest to any other poster except himself. I expect more drivel to come from his side, and this board's relevance will be brought down again to another level of depth unless the mods decide to stop it for once and for all.

Were he to take my advice, the added advantage for us would be that he would be unable to post on this board, meaning we wouldn't have to respond to useless drivel in an attempt to stop it appearing again and again!
