First of all I think there is no really perfect solution to the problem. To me this is inherent to the dispute as different parties have a different view of what's right and wrong. So I think this conflict will show up in the data anyway. 2013/12/23 Fernando Trebien > Today, from a practical pe

Hi Murry, thanks, but there's no need to apologize. I am aware that I've made some provocative statements myself. So I probably have to apologize, too. Basically I think we're on the same page: To my understanding we agree that there's a need to differentiate between the different kinds of baked

Hi Murry, being yet another German I'm afraid I still don't buy into the proposal. I guess this has a lot to do with both cultural and language differences. Also some background to start with. For many people in at least continental Europe bread is a basic food and a key component of the daily di

How about historic=wayside_shrine? Unfortunately my French is rather limited so I basically could only look at the pictures in the Wikipedia. But this looked quite a bit like these "wayside shrines". Michael Am 26.08.2012 07:00 schrieb "André Pirard" : > ** > What is the tag for this?
