[snip] > Till Poser Internet: poser@vxdsyc.desy.de Speaking as one who sold his soul for a billion years and who was made a slave of the cult, this is wonderful news, Till! It seems the Germans' "third nostril" was opened in the last 50 years and they now can easily recognize the stench of fascism. The virtual slaves working within the cult will appreciate the efforts you made to get them better treatment, someday. Meantime, I want to thank you on their behalf.
