Well Chris
Your very lengthy reply reply certainly suprised me.
This was because my contention was with coadmin and not you.
I would have thought that you would have allowed coadmin to answer first before adding your reply.
Your reasons for being so quick off the mark could be

1 That you are a very loyal and faithful friend and will like any true friend go to any lengths to defend him or her.

2 That you dont think coadmin is very intelligent and he/she needs you to defend them.

The reason for my original letter was this. Somebody called udi wrote a letter here which showed his/her opinion to be different to ours, but was still in my opinion pretty tame compared to some of the stuff that I have read here.
In spite of this our friend coadmin was to my suprise suggesting that it would be deleted. In the end the letter was thankfully not removed. Lets be frank. a letter like that is not going to cause anybody to join ubf. I think the reply of Desiree showed a lot more maturity than did yours. She seems to be of an opinion which I share that we should encourage all the second generationers however imature they maybe to write because that is the only way we can contact them.
I appreciate that you very conservative, efficient and precise Germans may come near to having a heart attack by some of us who wander from the original aims of this web. But lets face it times change, and the original aims might be now a teeny bit narrow.
You also were wondering why I dont send annonymous letters to ubf web sites to compare their degree of freedom with ours. Doesn't it occur to you that the reason I cannot do this is that I dont Know any addresses.
However my point is not at all to suggest that they are freeer than ours, (I would doubt this) but rather that ours should be and remain the most free. I am sure that you will not challenge me on this.
God Bless you Tony
