From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCPmVCPCEhTTU7ThsoQg==?= PO HARENET OR JP> Date: 24 jan 1996 Subject: Please join us Hello, Randy san, I'm sorry that I missed to answer your last question. Red letters on reverse side is adopted only in popular piece set. High grade set always has letters with brack "Urushi"(Japan). The set I used to use in my childhood was the one with red ink. It's easy to distinguish one from another ! Then, Randy-san. I've read your comment on mine and on Mr. T. I thank you a lot that you appreciate what we are doing and going to do. I don't know who Mr. T. is, where he lives, what he is doing, etc. But I'm very glad to see that he also appreciates my standpoint and he has offered to me. I believe that he can offer me a big support. And I have asked you to join us and begged your support. I need to have supports from both of you. So please do not argue with on what I deem are not so essential. I know well that it's also important what you care. But what's more important is that tremendous crime like bad thing is now going on. I hope all members discussioning here are not engaged. I regret that I have not informed you of that fact. I've received a vicious threat from a person under big company in Japan. He asked me (quite kindly) to stop publishing my book at once otherwise he suggested to harm a famous Shogi player who recommended my book. The only thing he urged me was "not to use Japanese original terms." You won't be able to believe this, but it's a fact! I'm ready to disclose all the letters he sent to me, his name and his company name. I have all the material evidence. with regards, K. Sunny SANO (KFF00705 niftyserve or jp)
