According to Wikipedia
" A "mama-san", or "mamasan" is usually a woman in a position of authority,
especially one in charge of a geisha house or bar in Japan and East Asia "
Is the "san" in the message's subject line to imply that Mr Kikukawa is in a
position of authority and was running Olympus's geisha house or drinking
establishment at the company's corporate digs ?
Just curious :-))
