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.
