Perhaps the Mayor of Munich may regard my message is frivalous, unimportant,
or maybe even silly. But, I'm the native Germans on the list are quite
pleased with your rererence to Munich as "blown up village". At least I
respectful and didn't refer to the city he lives in as " blown up village"
that is so technologically inferior they don't "accept credit
cards and [aren't] "open 24hrs a day".
The inferrence of cultural slurs is unbecoming to say the least. And If my
letter were so funny, his bill from microsof after a couple of years will be
equally as funny, not to mention the fact that a candidate for the opposition
would probably jump all on the little tidbit that the present Mayor opted to
go with a foreign supplier that was costly, not to mention the fact the their
federal government has publicly stated the fact that they find M$ software
suspect and the EU has found them in violation of European antitrust
statutes.
Buts that's ok - I guess it just FLAME night.
Curtis.
