Joe.......... Not going to get in a tit-for-tat with you.. Just some quick points. A Silicon Valley office and presence is very important for a technology company...SV is where a significant number of tech companies are located and where many news agencies are also located that cover these companies. G/H strategy is to get coverage from such news agencies, like Marketwatch, CNET, ZDNET, Upside, and Red Herring all located in the San Fran/ Silicon Valley area. You are mistaken with your assertion that this is a mistake to have an "expensive" SV office. Also regarding you comments regarding Hwang's intentions. Such assertions and statements matter of factly without basis is slander. If I were you I'd not make such comments until you have a little more than conjecture. Another participant on this thread lives in Okinawa. He has ordered and received CD's. I don't know the particulars about his receipts, but I have just recently "chatted" with him about deliveries to Japan. Finally, you are reading way too much into words and are being hypersensitive regarding references to "sushi" and "numbnuts". Nothing was intended by these comments...Those who wrote did not realize their insensitivity, but the majority of people who participate on this thread are American. Americans, in casual conversation, toss around all types of insensitive statements in normal discourse. Nothing I have read on this thread to date should or really could be construed as a racial slur in my opinion. You should state such words offended you before making accusations that again in my opinion are unfounded. By the way, what the heck are "numbnuts" anyway. Sincerely, ztect (spelling not checked)
