<DIV><FONT size=2>Gentlemen:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Happy New Year. I have just joined kinejapan and
currently in the process of presenting a dissertation on Japanese "Tokusatsu" or
special effects films to the University of Sheffield .In the dissertation, I
will make a point that the issue of nuclear radiation and the threat of nuclear
arms leading to the final war, is treated quite differently in non-Japanese
(mostly US) films compared to Japanese films. In this regard, I would like to
have your opinion on the issue and with your permission, include your viewpoints
in my dissertation.First, I would like to know if such a message as mine is
allowed on this bulletin board as it concerns non-Japanese films as well
although these will becompared to Japanese films. Also, how long can a posted
message be? I would like to post a much longer message to the board to include
my views and ask for your feedback. Please inform me as to how long a posting
should be.<BR></FONT><FONT size=2>Sincerely, </FONT></DIV>
