>>>>>[ Herr DR. Doom,
I apologise for my lack of ettiqutte. I am (quite) a bit rusty on my language
skills and I can't seem to find that damned skillsoft anywhere. So pardon
me if I cannot translate what you wrote before.
I have *once* tapped into one of the obital laser sattilites. Big
mistake since I didn't know what it was and vaporised a small amount of the
Gulf of Mexico. I think "Zapper" Weisman said it best
"Smarter...Faster...
Meaner... God I hate the technology curve."]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Do not concern yourself overly, mein Herr. Apologies accepted, of
course. I was simply endeavoring to point out something--and forgetting to put
it in your language to facilitate you understanding, for that, I apologize to
you. Here is what I said (interpreted, not literal):
>"Firstly, do not refer to me with the familiar 'du'; rather, address me
with the polite 'Sie'. (it is customary in Germany to refer to people you don't
know, as well as professionals and acquaintances as 'Sie') Also, I prefer to
be called _Doctor_ Doom, my honorable sir. (by which I mean you, of course) And
you are right about--"
>Ganz liecht...but back to the matter at hand: Yes, one does need to
know exactly what one is dealing with when accessing a military system. But,
with your obvious talents, I am certain we could come up with something on the
matter, ja? ]<<<<<
