Hi Sarah, Thorsten, I am not reading CCC much these days but it was fun quickly going through all the "rubbish" postings between the two of you, happy days are back again so to speak. What amazes me, the two of you want to avoid the crucial point by all means, that is, Sarah likes Fritz, Thorsten does not.
