Somehow, I knew this was going to happen. Now you've forced me to post links, which I almost posted a caveat about. I guess I should have actually done so.

Re: not minnasan but minasan

Here, I think there were the two that didn't work. At least I hope they were the only two that didn't work. I still don't know exactly why, though.
