Exceptions The only exceptions to these rules are the pre-

By the way, somebody (Jarmo?) from Japan complained that I used the
term foreigners wrongly. Maybe I did, but I did not expect somebody
from Japan to read an sfnet newsgroup, since it won't be easy to read
it (is it that widely distributed? or do you use some account in
Finland?).
Well, I guess you are refering to my article, although I would not use
the term 'complain'. Actually my article was written with tongue-in-cheek
but (as usually) I didn't use smileys and (as usually) I didn't make
myself understood. I am sorry.
I cannot read sfnet from Japan, and so I am using an account in Finland.

It is futile to keep this newsgroup alive when most foreigners have
become taciturn in the company of Finns. Foreigners have nothing much
to say about anything. Perhaps foreigners are not interested in other
foreigners and neither are Finns interested in foreigners very much.
I guess most foreigners must be reading their respective soc.culture.*
Time after time, the local international association in Turku has
materialised like a phoenix and disappeared. It changes names and
colours, but has limited vitality. The local newsgroup for ]bo
Akademi, abo.utlanningar had also to be removed because nobody wrote
to it.
I still have to understand this : WHY WILL FOREIGNERS WRITE SOMETHING ?
With regards,
Abhay
