And, given that the original sender has already apologized for his poor choice of words, and that everyone else has already slammed the poor guy, this last bit of flamage against him helps the situation, how? On Tue, 25 Jul 2000 19:12:12 -0400, las wrote: > >"Perhaps all of this is just a resul

I know I started this part of the "Anyone know Japanese?" thread so I cannot say too much about its continuation. This is likely my last posting on the issue. My comment was directed at Ryan simply because he made the initial posting. The point, however is less about Ryan and more about how we

Hi Ryan, I read Japanese. :) As far as I can see, they don't do business beyond Japan. There isn't a single word even on the possibility of overseas delivery. The 23,000 price tag for the E77 is nothing to be excited about. Other online mail order sites (for Japan domestic) go as low as 20,500

Wow..I apologize profusely if anyone took what I said the wrong way. I did not mean to slur anyone at all. I have nothing against the Dynamic Store or any other foreign dealer, nor their language. In fact, I've been e-mailing a Japanese retailer for the past couple of weeks trying to get a goo

Ok, I know this list is about MD related stuff and not necessarily about world citizenship. Nevertheless, it is an international list and we are all therefore a part of that world community. I would have probably ignored Ryan's use of the word "gibberish" had it been the only offensive part of

Barring the use of the word "gibberish" when referring to the language of Japanese, I didn't find anything offensive in what was said. "Gibberish" *was* a bad, descriptive choice though. Anyway, if you use Netscape and go to a Japanese site, you can look under the "View" menu (I think it is) and

It would seem you are *very* fluent in gibberish and insensitivity as well. The Dynamic Store would do well to invite you to keep your money. I suggest you spend it on some lessons in world citizenship. Jim Lee Ryan Hutson wrote: > Or Korean? Or Chinese? Or whatever the heck the Dyanmic Stor
