Get off my lawn. *grumble*
Look, first impressions are important. Your first impression was to ask us to translate something you had apparently made no effort to do yourself. Your second impression could be that you become a well-functioning member of the board.
I think when I first came on, I got in flamewars with a guy named Shad0w. Now we get along and I contribute positively. I like to think I'm no longer some cybernut, but rather a cybernaut.
So heed my suggestions, please, and we will come to love you as a brother.

Personally after a reply like yours I wouldn't become a "functional" person of this forum, but I would leave...and as a matter of fact I did it for several months in the past and even now I find more a friendly enviroment another forum (can't mention it to be fair with Japan forum, but I guess you know it coz you suggest the lesson site, whose forum I am talking about, very often in here).
There are ways and ways to say things and even tho you claim over and over to be very educated...unfortunately you are way too faulty in other aspects. Maybe in a court of law you have the right to treat people like that, but fortunately out of court people have the freedom to just turn their back to you.
Please keep this in mind, because as a member who posts very often and answers to question about Japanese language you are one of the few in here who can leave a good or bad "first impression". Unfortunately though that leaves a mark on the whole forum and not only on you.
Just my 2 cents...
