The owner opf the site cannot be replaced. Is it impossible for example to buy the site from volker? >In my opinion the only logical conclusion was that he meant when the site was >gone.

I do not jump to conclusion about his nationality. I simply do not care about it. I can only say about german posters that for some reasons I find posts of part of the german posters harder to understand relative to posts of other posters that their native language is not english. I do not know the reason for it. Maybe something is wrong in teaching english in germany. I have no problem with programmers of Yace and Comet but for some reasons I have problem to understand intelligent posters like the programmer of Smirf even more than Frank quisinsky and intelligent player like Eduerd Nemeth often cannot write in english here unless he is using babelfish translation.
