Everywhere on the net, there are news groups for just about everyone. --I think it would be good to have one for the "deutschies" among us. Think about it, recent studies have indicated that close to 25% of the population of the US can trace their origins back to German ancestry! If the group were formed, what exactly would be its intent? Would/Could postings be bilingual? (Please forgive my questions -- I'm relatively new to the net, and I've still a great deal to learn.) -- ****************************************************************************** * Elaine Hacklaender@Clemson.NCR.COM * Dare to go where Angels fear tread,* * ...!uunet!ncrlnk!ncrcae!ncrclm!hack * The gods are with you * ******************************************************************************
