if you took the time to read the post you would 
see that what I said is that Taro buys some of 
their cels from an individual who bids on yahoo 
japan. NOT that they buy from yahoo japan 
directly. :-P  and who the hell said i was 
whining?  all i am doing is saying that it's a 
fact. if you saw the updates for the cels i was 
refering to you'd see it for yourself. i don't 
care who they get their cels from, nor do i care 
where the cels the person they buy from gets 
them. believe me, i tossed down a lot of money at 
the taro update - if i was upset about it i 
wouldn't have.  after all, i saved money on 
buying from them since i didn't have to get a 2 
cel set with one i *really* didn't want and would 
have just thrown up on ebay after getting it. 
(and who said i want to be credible in your eyes 
anyway? :-P)
