I am not sure about what you were saying above. But, i too have heard a different kind of SOFA. Yeah, SOFA is an acronym , for a speech delivery aspect. I came across this word in my communication skills class. When giving an oral presentation, SOFA technique to handle the audience better. SOFA means , Smile, Open, Friendly and Acknowledge... Smile : You have to sport a friendly smile on your face . Open : Have an open posture towards the audience. Give them the confidence to be interactive with you. Friendly : Try to be friendly with the audience. Acknowledge : Whenever the audience interacts with you, acknowledge him in a prompt manner. I am not sure if these rules would help a lot, but still, that is yet another SOFA i know, with respect to the title of the thread, started here...

QUOTE(lailai @ Dec 8 2007, 08:05 AM)  Today I just found out in many chinese forums the first reply sometimes post sofa(沙发 In Chinese) because So-Fast is a bit like SoFast. Now people thinks like Chair for second reply, Ground for third reply, Underground for fourth reply and goes on. Oh! This is something I have always wondered! I post at Chinese forums pretty often, and I always see the first poster type things like 我得到沙发了 (I got the sofa). I dislike it though, because a lot of people just type about getting the 'sofa' and nothing of relevance to the topic, which is blatant spamming (who the heck cares whether you post a reply first if you are just posting something irrelevant right?). Anyway, good to understand! I don't know about the chair, ground or underground bit though. Haven't seen those yet!

China - Friend Or Foe?
Discuss Here (14) China - a country that has been bullied for far too long. It has once been a nation of great freedom

chopsticks, paper, kites, wheelbarrow, etc. Surely, a country with such great inventions would not
be so weak? Yet, they did become weak due to the rise of the communist party; it has restricted
great inventors from inventing; great authors to write; great men to think. The western countries
see communism as a horrible way to treat the citizens of the state; a horrible way make a co....

Always linger in the depth of my heart. The floating heart growing in the sludge Sways leisurely
under the water; In the gentle waves of Cambridge I would be a water plant! That pool under
the shade of elm trees Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky; Shattered ....
