Hi Kurt!

:-) the most important thing, yes. Though everyone working in a bar would  
also understand the order in english, I guess.
It can always happen that there are some people who speak no german. In  
G”ttingen this happens often because of the University.

btw: it is perfectly allright to write "ss" if you have no
"á" and don't  
know the ASCII-code.

And now he can use Linux and you forgot most of the German?

Is there anyone in this area who does NOT speak German? ;-)

contrary to Carol not only your surname has some german sound to it. Any  
ancestor here?

Ciao,
Malte!
