WHY did I NOT see the Washlets at the local Japanese restaurant?

Because the Japanese are a courteous people who do not try to force their customs and habits on others...unlike some people, who simply drone ON AND ON AND ON about a stupid subject like bidets.

Why do you think anyone here would be interested enough to care?  The frequency of your postings about bidets in general and one kind in particular may well be an attempt at SPAM.  If you don't stop this nonsense soon, people are going to start reporting your posts as SPAM, and AOL will very likely than cancel your account.

Yeah, I already reported it as spam too. I thought he was just screwed up but then I saw he was asking about a brand name bidet so I guess he's advertising the things.

I think so too.  Let's just hope AOL is on the ball.  For a change.
