Re: [Leica] Japs stole designs: Offensive and disparging

[Walter S Delesandri <walt@jove.acs.unt.edu>]

As I wasn't the originator of this header (THIS time), I can't 
speak for what the originator wanted to his utterances to 
reflect.  Also, I've never been to Japan.

I'll ask my uncle or father-in-law what they think and get back 
to the group...they spent considerable time in the pacific a 
few years back on an all-expenses paid trip (I believe it was 
a raffle or something).  I'm sure they can shed some light on 
the subject.

BTW, is that dictionary new enough to have listings for "P.C. Police" 
or "Net-Nanny"?  My Texas edition (obtainable at any gun show)
doesn't.

A lot depends on your viewpoint.  :) :) :)

CU, 
Walt
