Nice to see you back and posting sabro san !!

Frank, I like that idea too. It may have enough 'logistical' bottlenecks inherent in it, preventing real being able to grow out and spread, but I'd be interested in looking for a book to offer as a suggest--of course, the little time I do have for reading has not been on Japanese related subjects in these past four to five years.

I agree with you, Maciamo san, that the forum could use other voices too. I'll see if I can come up with something to help out on that point, but it may take some time, and I can't promise. . . I will try though.
