Thanks!

Andi, i'm sorry that you are having difficulty understanding, but that is exactly what i just told you to do, as long as Alan is willing to give a full translation for your post.
I would not like this to be a regular occurrence, but in this one instance i believe we could all benefit from a clearer understanding of what you are trying to communicate here. Alan (A.G. Maisey) is an experienced keris smith who has studied with well know Jawa empus. He should be able to sort out and explain what you write in terms we can all understand.

Andi, you have made some claims right here on this site that i would love to have you clear up in THIS space. We ALL would like to learn. That is the ultimate goal of this website after all. Taking this conversation into private space with Alan denies the rest of us of valuable lessons, does it not. I cannot keep you from conversing privately with Alan, of course, but it would be nice if you can help us understand what you trying to say right here on this forum. Again, if you would like to post your response to Alan here in Bahasa Indonesian so that he can translate it that would be allowable in this instance.

Dear david

thank you david, but friends who are here do not understand what I feel if using google translete, but if I am allowed to use Indonesian and Alan or anyone who can translate in Indonesian, I am very grateful if the permit.

Andi, again, i do realize you have difficulty understanding English, but i have already told you twice that it would be alright this one time for you to post in Indonesian so that we can all understand what you are trying to say. Now i will say it for a third time.
Yes, please make your post in Indonesian so that Alan can translate it.

David, at the moment I am in an area that has very severe internet problems, so it is inevitable that my replies or posts will be slow, or may not even get there at all. However, I have had a PM from La Pagaru, I have responded to this and agreed to translate whatever he writes if I can, I say "if", because there could be local technical terms used that could cause difficulty, but if the explanation he gives is standard Bahasa Indonesia there should be no difficulty in translation at all.
