Yes indeed, this thread has gone off topic. But i am glad that BF is a place where multiple intrepretations of 'respect' are possible and many opinions are welcomed by most.

I disagree 100% with you Foolmanchoo, but i respect your right to post things i find questionable, i hope you will extend me (and possiby Yan, though i am sure he can speak for himself) the same courtesy.

But, agreed, this started out as a Dahon question thread and should probably return to that, i am not the kind to suggest anyone goes to the Dahon forum (only) for that..
So hopefully there are some more people with info to share about Dahons.
