(...) I never said that. I said I don't do Ninja, but that's NOT because I don't like it; It's because a) I have no clue about oriental-structures, lifestyles-- anything, and b) my budget is only so big and I have to focus on one thing that I can at (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)
