Thank you, Marymac - this gives me hope that I'm not the only one. Good saying at the end, I'll try to memorize it for further use.

McGrath - sorry for having to tell you that your 'thumb rule' at least doesn't apply to me. I am interested in answers but only in a certain kind of them.

Let me explain:

What is happening here is happening ('sorry' for having to repeat) IN PUBLIC. That means that we are PUBLISHING things we are posting here. It's like having them printed in a newspaper and I consider it a very good thing that the medium we are using has facilitated publishing that much (ever tried to post your opinion in a real newspaper in order to reach somebody who might know an answer?). Everything that makes people call for rules in here is the fact that some other people have not yet realized that they are PUBLISHING what they are saying. In the world of real newspapers there is some freedom of press and not without any reason - but the press in question has meanwhile realized that they are not allowed to write everything...

So what I'm interested in are answers somebody dares to say in public as I do, nothing else. I am especially not interested in having to read (and maybe having to answer) 512 emails every day, some of them maybe only written to insult me.

Concerning the GUEST prefix:

I am not hurt by somebody accusing me to 'suffer from a rectalcranial inversion, i.e. my head is stuck up my ass and shit brown is all I can see'(LOL). But I AM hurt by being called 'Guest,Joerg'. Can anybody imagine, why?
