   Yes, I'm still here.

Me, too.

   Sorry, but I have zero interest in cereal and milk. Actually, one
   of the main reasons I enjoy living in Japan is Japanese food!

   To see if there is any interest, I'll repost my RiceReport to see
   if there is any interest. Now I'm learning about noodles and I guess
   I'll make up a NoodleReport when I get done :-)

Thank you. By the way, I checked my local supermarket counter after
reading somebody's comment that even Quaker Oats has put kiddy pictures
on their boxes. It turns out that the Yuki-jirushi (Snow brand) which
is the licensed distributor of Quaker Oats in Japan hasn't tampered
with the box and I could still buy the good old-fashioned box with the
classical picture on it.

   I've already sent in my vote on what to call the group. But I don't
   think the name really matters as much as having the group.

I haven't yet, but I will do so. I don't care what the name is myself,
but our voting will give strength to Mr. Kuno, I suppose.
