Wolfgang, the frightening thing for me is that you sound as if you actually believe those figures & statistics , and you had them too quickly to hand. (26 Nov 04 - 12:35 PM)

Too quickly??? Now you're getting silly, 26 Nov 04 - 12:35 PM.

I tell you two closely guarded secrets:
(1) There are search machines around the web with the help of which you can search for documents with certain strings of characters in them
(2) I'm a native speaker of German and therefore I know which words to expect in such a document.

The rest is two minutes of my time.

Wolfgang
