Thanks for the kind words.

For those who are interested in the Chinese domain market, what I do is I read Chinese domain news every day and then pick up several interesting stories. The short ones go into the News section and the longer ones require further research and eventually go to the Post section of my blog. Then, I email my free newsletter to subscribers at 4pm EDT (for our American friends. Will change due to daylight saving time adjustment) every day. The same contents are then uploaded to my website.
