You can msg me directly or post it here in forums, just break the link somehow e.g. portableagreeIGNOREware.com

It's an expression to suggest that, because the clone site is imitating us, they are actually giving us a compliment. Obviously they are not, hence the joke. I realize it probably doesn't translate. I couldn't find a good Greek idiom for reference.

Now, i understand it.

Yes, there is not translate for that, but after the last post you make, i understand what you are trying to say.

I'm sorry if my English is not so good.

Not a problem. Although a decision was made early in the site's history to go English-only, some of our members and program developers non-native speakers.
