					<description><![CDATA[Chapeau to you, Daphne. I never checked your web ratings but now that I have visited your link on Alexa I am extremely impressed. Runner up to Pirate Bay......wow. 

More so when I went through the demographics of your readers. The younger generation seems to delight themselves on your arguments and ideas.

One thing I was not sure of. 65% Maltese and the rest of your viewers are Thai. How come and why Thai?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - No idea. The views from Thailand don&#039;t affect the ranking in Malta but only the ranking in Thailand (obviously), so I&#039;m not bothered to find out.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

I agree. Did he have maltastar in mind when he wrote this:

&quot;The media sector has made great strides in recent years.
 
Not only in composition and technically, but also in the quality of the human resources that staff the various newspapers and broadcasting stations. Media owners have also progressed. Today there is practically total emphasis on treating facts as sacred and reporting all news objectively.&quot;

Lino Spiteri should have emphasised that Joseph Muscat is so confident that he uses a teleprompter . Unlike Dr. Gonzi he is not arrogant, he just answers with ;&#039;ghalissa daqshekk se nghid. Illum se nasal s&#039;hemm&#039;.]]></description>

@ Daphne

You are a great entertainer. And I do not mean it in an offensive way. And kudos to you too for your promptness.

Admittedly I did resort to vulgar posts at times, apologies for that. 

Not to make a fine point to it, but there were times when you just deleted my decent posts, so I tried a different style, and hey presto, you actually let some through. Naughty of you to put me in bad light!

As for the nickname, its just a game.]]></description>

I did try to find your site on alexa but got to 300 and gave up..Sex sites seem to be far more popular..where do i find your rating?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Oh, sorry, I forgot for a moment there that you vote Labour. Look under Malta. First you click on Top Sites, then you select By Country, then you select Malta. But I&#039;ve made it easy for you - here&#039;s the link which takes you straight there: http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/MT ]&lt;/strong&gt;

Oh wanted to congratulate you on having been recruited to support the PN election campaign.. I am positive you can give a good contribution once this blog is not so popular anymore, hence you are not so busy..

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - This blog has never been ranked as high as it is now, at 24 or 25. This means, Chantel, that it is now at its most popular ever, since start-up. I have not been recruited to &#039;support the PN election campaign&#039;. People support election campaigns of their own free will. Of course I support the PN election campaign - so do many thousands of others. But if you mean that I am working on the campaign, the answer is no, I&#039;m not.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Its &quot;SNR&quot; I wrote not &quot;Junior&quot;, so I was referring to the senior one.

Secondly, I am used to good manners trust me on that. You don&#039;t know me, so you can hardly say anything about me other than about what I write here.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Your own manners are terrible. Bear in mind that I have had to delete some of your more appalling comments. Your very choice of nickname is awful and vulgar.]&lt;/strong&gt;

Thirdly, I represent myself and no-one else, thus &quot;you people&quot; is rather misplaced. You make it sound as if I&#039;m in a grouping (&quot;the other Malta&quot;?) I&#039;ve always been in since ever.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - In my experience, when Laburisti are as negatively persistent as you are, they are motivated by something outside themselves and not merely in it for the sport or the pro bono defence of Labour.]&lt;/strong&gt;

Lastly, if I may, its not just MY (excuse the capitals but not sure I can get type in italics here) opinion, it was shared by many others, whatever the political hue.

But then, its just an opinion, not expecting you to agree or anything.]]></description>
