Hi,
Isn't Wolfsburg, the home of Porshe and VW?


Rocky,

while you're right with VW, the home of Porsche is Zuffenhausen near Stuttgart.

regards


Thank you, and I stand "Informed". The best thing I think I can do is learn to Spell right. :-)

Skat? Er du ikke lidt familiær? ;-) Ellers har jeg det fint i dag, hvad med dig?

Cool. I I wonder if it would be a nice feature to be able to review participants by city or area instead of just country?

I did see a website \ board somewhere that showed latest meet ups for city or region for SETI but can't remember where... I seem to remember it wasn't very up to date though.

That is a great idea. It's actually quite funny, but some of our fellow crunchers could be living a few streets away and we would never know. Considering we're all searching for something that lives millions of miles away, doesn't anyone else find that rather absurd?

Kindest regards to all my fellow Crunchers

Yeah, Jensen is a very common name here!

Posting ones personal info here is a very bad idea, I think, so I think we shall continue our conversation here! :-)
