| For what it's worth, Helmut, I translated it as *All* the posters are

Sometimes, one word miss is all miss. And as the word "fast" [almost] is
also an english word, it is even more difficult.

I've tried to learn now for almost 52 years, and never will be perfect.

I try hard not to misspell.

I never would dare to accuse the whole holy amateur radio newsgroup

Mike, for a non-native german speaker it is not easy, to catch the "little"
differences. German is accused to be one of the most difficult languages to
learn, at least here in Europe. Your translation was not that bad as all. I
would be glad to accomplish the same - in italian.

Take care
