If I am from Germany and it never comes to my mind to use this synonym before you wrote this. And also after I red this mail, there is fare many different between "sturmbahnDführer" and "sturmbahnfahrer". Sorry but if you try to deny this name you have to deny many other to. Just a few examples: - - "dd" (could be read SS, only two letters away) - - "Gruppenführer" or short "Führer" (A term often used in german youth groups without any relate to the nazi) - - "chmod 666 ..." (Some christians complain about the 666 as it would be the number of the devil) - - ... So please calm down and come back to the reality and do not try to see nazis in all thinks in the world. Yes, there are still nazi in the world and they have to be fighten. > you google with "sturmbahnfahrer", you will not find any page which is Do you really believe in google forever? But, I tried the search too and got around 21900 hits. > not related to the game: this word does not exist in German. Many names of games are such called "Kunstworte" because otherwise the could be suited. (Bad times today that you always have to fear about getting suited. :-( Regards Klaus Ethgen - -- Klaus Ethgen http://www.ethgen.de/ pub 2048R/D1A4EDE5 2000-02-26 Klaus Ethgen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fingerprint: D7 67 71 C4 99 A6 D4 FE EA 40 30 57 3C 88 26 2B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBRmOvKp+OKpjRpO3lAQIo6wf8CPM+5+PEcwoZWuhsNYPb+tsZQ7o/CIjF 9MQLbkZlr5zD0hBDHR9xbXO8OZ2dDuEiXwshRQCocRuRz1PlVPzI4vyvZdlRb2wy IjGPs98vWf4LRFpJx1XPh5MHFWJSFvlscqELjxDaRHpwWOwHR4/mVBhk+fsIvgFr lNN2cCRRKLkmm7VAkn46Pw1v7K4eZ5kx31c+cMr3j6t66DXCMbkqMy5bbvKUqXue 8deHotvxRvMglcDdng7UCohDechWvw0QY2EtlNMQeaXNZvv5Am7d2TKYsnmN0h7h 8mwTnEqfyJ/kbdmlIy+vR2SLXIBmfhkieKlgjMi98/6tNlYdnvRRbA== =qnoY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
