    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.

If you called me a "Yank" to my face, I would probably feel a little American pride and say, "Yes I am." Which brings up an interesting point: technically, I am an American, so the word "Jap" shouldn't offend me, but my dad's side of the family is 100% Japanese. I *know* that when he was growing up, and that when his parents were growing up, they dealt with bigotry and racism. I liken its usage toward Japanese people to the usage of the word "Nigger" toward black people (or African Americans for those that consider "black" offensive, or insert your favorite pc term here). "Let's put those 'Japs' into a concentration camp." I can deal with a friend calling me a Jap in jest. Perhaps I misinterpreted Isaac's intentions, but the way he freely used the term "Jap," it didn't sound to me like he was joking. </rant> My $0.02 Jon Sagara What about :bob:?

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

I probably associated it with saguaro :-D I used to get that a lot growing up, especially because I lived in a farm town that had a lot of migrant workers. 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
