      Sorry, didn't mean to remind anyone of any particular war... I'm not an American (thank god!) so don't think I hold a grudge. Isaac Sasson, Small time programmer - complainer at large.

I'm curious as I often use Yanks for Americans, Poms for Englanders, etc. Most of the W- War2 vetrans at the local club here use far less kind names to describe them, ( But then I guess torture and starvation practices ensured this ) Strange though that so many use Toyota, Nissan and Mitsi products.

            Cool! I've always assumed your name is of Spanish (Mexican) origin. I probably associated it with saguaro :). I would never thought of it being a Japanese name. My dictionary says it means something like "good fellow" or maybe even "mutual goodness", but i'm not good at this, so i could be way off. Call me weird, but i love japanese names, especially female ones:-O.

              I just never thought of it as being offensive, rather just as a shortened version of Japanese. Regardz Colin J Davies

Nowadays, people who meet me don't exactly know what to make of me because I have fair skin (thanks Mom) and hardly look Japanese at all (what happened there, Dad?). I guess Mom has the dominant genes in the relationship. :) Jon Sagara What about :bob:? Sonork ID: 100.9999 jonsagara

                            Uhuuuhu. I doubt this will happen soon/anytime :-) It was just to avoid people trying to steal CPs success by simply grabbing the domain name in their country. You all can contribute: get CodeProject.[yourcountry] and redirect it to CodeProject.com. (That's just an idea of MINE, Chris has nothing to do with it :-)). -- See me: www.magerquark.de
