Hmmm ... could be applicable to Holland, too.
Since this is already highly OT, one more European comment can't harm.
I just read in today's Norwegian Aftenposten that Donald Rumsfeld left
Europe (actually Germany) in disgust at the French and Germans because
he couldn't understand why they could possibly have any opinions of
their own (after all, the British don't).
God, I'm glad I live here :-) I live in one large madhouse, of which I'm
a very proud member.
Thanks for your views, Nico. Now I'l subside into lurking again. Heaven
bless Exim 4.12, Philip, and Marc's SA-Exim.
Best,
Tony
