<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> Tarquin typed:Now BOTH Stevertigo AND
Goatasaur seem to have these.<BR>> Of course, I can't tell -- they just show
as "??" on my screen.<BR>> <BR>> Please go back to usual signatures, guys.
And go clean up the existing <BR>> ones. It was amusing while it lasted, but
joke over<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, Ill admit to having started the 'mess' and
respect your opinion Tarquin. But the idea <EM>of </EM>Kanji is to be
understood.... i had long thought that Kanji was too complicated to be useful,
and that [[igo]] would be the only thing of Asian culture that could be used...
I was wrong, and now Im telling people they should raise their kids to learn
Kanji at an early age.... the phonetics are irrelevant... its the ideas that
they convey which is useful. A soft introduction is forthcoming on the WP.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, these are the benefits of Kanji in general...
Im just using mine for a sig... Object to it if you will, but I dont see any
basis for it other than "its too inconvenient to move the mouse over to
show me the name the Kanji links to..." RK and your argument, that using Kanji
as an embellishment, violates 'the policy of segregation of languages' doesnt
hold water. Does this mean that you guys will police the Zhongwen Wiki to
remove any Engrish or Romanji? Tranculturation is a fact of life, and the web is
speeding this up evidence of this... p.s try setting the browser to use the
unicode it probably already has installed instead of western ISO....
