        Unfortunately, my nihongo is not that advanced and I'm ashamed
to admit that I can't read most of this yet. Without clicking on the
link all I get with my limited translation skills is something about
women associating the word "always" with the brand of sanitary napkins
by the same name sold here in the United States.
        It's not the first thing I think of when I hear the word
"always" but I can see where some might associate the word with it.
        
        I guess the main point of this whole discussion would be
"Don't use improper Japanese in a newsgroup filled with persons who
speak it much better than I do". :)
