		<description>Mr Churbuck:

You and Mr Bumarch appear to have both gone out of your way to purposefully ignore my e-mails. I have no doubt that you will promptly censor this post from your blog, as to call you out on your apparent lack of concern for a customer is no doubt a poor reflection on yourself; I&#039;m confident however that you will at least take a moment to read this over before deleting it.

Thus far it appears that Lenovo has taken the position that if they completely ignore the issue surrounding the &#039;disappearance&#039; of my laptop, then perhaps I&#039;ll just go away.

A letter to the CEO of Lenovo via snail mail &amp; fax is already in the works, and should that garner no response, I have sincere plans to start up full fledged website &amp; forum detailing my ordeal and encouraging others to come forward with any negative experiences they have had with Lenovo. (In doing so, perhaps the higher ups @ Lenovo will realize that spending a little more money paying and properly training their customer service reps would be a far better business/marketing decision for them in the long run)

Should I have to go so far as to setup a website dedicated to Lenovo customer service horror stories, I&#039;ll be monetizing it via Google Adsense and although it may take awhile, I&#039;m certain the revenues from it will eventually reach the amount of money Lenovo stole from me. 

So as far as I&#039;m concerned, Lenovo is going to pay me back one way or another, either through adsense money generated via negative publicity, or of their own accord.

Personally, this is a huge matter of principle at this point, and I really wish that Lenovo could get their customer service act together, as despite all I&#039;ve been through, I still really do love Thinkpads. (Lenovo however is another story altogether.)

I much preferred being a Thinkpad evangelist than a critic - but Lenovo is sadly mistaken if they think I&#039;m just going to let this slide, and that they can weasel out of even acknowledging a problem exists by simply ignoring me.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a high school in Texas that does the Haka before every game. Learned about them last year when working with MaxPreps.

		<description>I&#039;ve been on the receiving end of the Haka several times &amp; have to say that it inspires both teams in addition to honoring Mauri culture There have been several incidents during international rugby matches where respect wasn&#039;t shown during the performance &amp; this tactic usually backfires. Most recently, in the current World Cup, the Italians ignored the pregame dance &amp; paid the price, giving up 96 relentless points in the 80 minute test.I always felt the Kiwis were honoring us, making us feel worthy to spill a little blood with them!</description>
