    It's not though. That's a hebrew or arabic H, which is a really harsh sound. Russian Х isn't that harsh, and not eveen pronounced in the throat.

    X is velar, mucus doesn't live around that part of the mouth :P
    H is glottal which is much further down the vocal tract.

    I would say that TATY and Londonets are the same person. I just banned you TATY and you register with Londonets to say that TATY is banned. Looks like TATY is someone who is sitting next to you to communicate that so fast. Or maybe you should re-read my first sentence.
