- My mistake here: my point was made in the original rebuttal to Mr Walz's
- article, where he states that our manufacturing sector is disappearing and that
- manufacturing is the true basis of any economy. It was this post to which Mr
- Day replied, and it was deleted in his response. I have attributed it to Mr
- Day in the above, and that is wrong. My apologies.
-
- Personal aside to Mr Day: I respond to this series from soc.culture.japan. I
- have seen seen my rebuttals show up on all the groups in the above Newsgroups
- line, as well as in other groups. If you will edit out the groups you are not
- reading (other than scj), we can continue this without annoying the people in
- other groups, who may not have as much an interest in it as you or I.
