That sounds about right, actually. That, and lack of time is another big
contributor to low postings. (At least on my behalf.)

Viz

That would have been me, actually.
At one of the conventions a few years back, we (friends and I) tried to
approach viz with specific questions/suggestions, and were pretty much
handed that very response. Much to our chagrin.

I think their main problem is too many people, employed by them,  who lack
clue empowerment.

Re: starting your own company......... friends of mine, and I, are
seriously considering that very option......with the primary goals of low
prices, and Customer Satisfaction. Tips, anyone?

I hate quite a few of the companies. Does anyone here *Not* hate at least
one?

Dubs don't necessarily suck; that depends on the talent and money invested
in the work.

As for hating english, I don't. I see english as a thing of beauty,
actually. Total Chaos, out of which comes organized communication. I'm
thankful as hell that I grew up speaking it, for learning it later in life
would be an excercize in frustration. (How many of you appreciate how truly
f***ed up english really is?) Japanese is a cakewalk in comparison. Can you
correctly pronounce "ghoti", "Llewllyn", or "Bryn Mawr"? (Let's see you
write them in katakana, and convey the correct pronounciation.)

I'm not overweight, and I'm not 35.
do I still fit the definition of Otaku? (^_-)

Oh, and a shout out to Miyu, and Frank.

I had some other replies, but they can wait, seeing as how it's 4:47AM, and
I need to go job-trolling tomorrow.
