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

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

Actually, most all the people in here are okay IMO. Some of us have an
unusual take on things, and we're all kind of fiesty, but I would enjoy
meeting any of them over a beer. That's the spectrum from Len to Larry.


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.

I believe it. My xyl makes fun of the way I even try to pronounce the
language (very, very poorly and apparently amusing). So I seldom try.
