Well, this is the very newsgroup I started usenet with. It has always
been the friendliest newsgroup of all, although we are playing the
the most brutal game (ok, not anymore). There were times when half of
the NG were just ranting, running test-threads or telling jokes. I
always loved reading (and writing) here.

I remember, when I first tried to get past the 20 (or so) Skaarj, I
always ran out of ammo and got killed. In such situations one is
tempted to cheat, but I didn't, I knew there was a way and finally I
did it.

25 years ago I nearly did; I only suvived due to sheer luck and the
outstanding teamwork and abilities of 3 doctors.

It's always a question of practice, practice and again practice.

Not this year, thou. There's no (real!) need and therefore no money
for such a thing. Maybe next year.

Yeah, I really do hope so. It's my mothertongue after all. ;-)

Pity. ;-D

I alway enjoyed to be able to talk to people all over the world by
speaking their language. Without speaking English I would never have
met all those fine people of my clan (unfortunately just virtually,
most of them live in the US) or of this newsgroup. If you'd like to
learn a foreign language try Spanish for it is not too difficult
(compared to German or French for example).
