Dear Lewis. 

This list has to contain a certain amount of commercial information, because
many of the people working with Japanese film, be they writers or
distributors need to use that information in order to publicise it.

Saying that most of the people who need to use that very information would
probably rather talk about something else, and usually give their time very
freely when a less "commercially polluted" topic arises.

Perhaps you might like to start another thread going to see how others
respond?  I suspect if it is interesting enough then you would tempt people
out.

All the best,

Gavin Rees
