What makes you think that the purpose of this group is to "help the OP"? 
I thought fjlij was supposed to be a place for gaigins to socialize, let 
off steam, and expound on a variety of random subjects, many of which 
really don't have much to do with Japan.

If someone wanders in and asks for information, they may receive what 
they ask for or they may end up empty handed, but whatever the outcome 
may be really doesn't matter much to us if they them proceed to 
disappear forever and never contribute to the group again.
