Every effort has been made to point the op in the right direction but he/she 
just won't listen.(maybe short attention span)
In a previous matter the poster asked about a visa, the information was 
tendered and the op failed to read the information instead threading back 
with the same questions. (not the first time)
I agree with your point of helping others up and along but at the same time 
some seem incorrigible.
After so many times of bending over backwards trying to help evantually 
somethings bound to slip out.
Admittedly (blush) I blasted the op when he/she posted lots of inflammatory 
name calling posts.
My main objective is to learn more about Japan as well as share some fact I 
may know. But thats hard to do when the poster is initiating belligerent 
posts not to mention responding to an ongoing  thread with lude pedophiliac 
comments.
It's like I'm reading through a thread about something that is going on and 
BAM he/she drops a nasty inappropiate comment. (there are news groups for 
that sort of thing which this is not).
I further believe that when the op in question gets serious he/she will find 
the answers.
