Now here's something interesting. We have a womens section; could we not have a foreign language section as well? I do not see any harm in a little diversity. Some people who do kendo etc may only speak English as a second or third language. And whilst it is generally regarded as the planets' lingua franca not everyone speaks it or writes it confidently. A separate area where views may be asked of others who spaak the same language may help further knowledge of kendo etc. And surely one of the strengths of such forums is exactly that - to help other learn a little more about what we all love and are truly interested in. If it went to a vote _ I would wholeheartedly support it Lee
