Folks, in case any of you out there don't know, currently available
evidence indicates that Hitomi is *not* a Japanese national. Anything
she says regarding Japanese life, culture, etc. should be taken with a
grain of salt until it can be verified by an actual Japanese person.

Now, personally I don't care if someone wants to use a pseudonym,
whether Japanese, English, or what have you. But claiming false
credentials and waxing expertly about subjects in which you are not in
fact an expert is not a good thing to do.

Oh, that's very nice Gary.

Here's something that should interest you.
