Thanks for your expert linguistic advice!

In conclusion, since for Americans Hamburg is /very/ close to Oxford/UK (and my daughter was "made" in Cambridge/UK and born in Newcastle/UK :P ), can we all live with a one-liner signature

Bye, Fridger
---> <-------

which seems to be the minimal required modification from the signature under my last 1500 posts? :roll:

And to finally relate to this harsh "ghost" criticizer of mine above, he based his devastating opinion about my knowledge of English apparently on one missing comma... :roll:

Bye, Fridger

Sorry for injecting this amazing view from the Ny-?lesund WEB-cam less than an hour ago (cf my Spitsbergen thread)!

I think this is about the most beautiful light I have seen there during the last weeks. Note it's taken at 9 pm (!) local time.

Bye, Fridger

hi hi hi ,

Ras you are a jewel!

Look what I am getting from other friends of mine:

a friend wrote:First the signature, now this, are you really the
"there's-more-than-one-way-to-do-it"-Perl-addict Fridger we know?

Now go back to your "there's-less-than-one-way-to-do-it"-Windows XP, will
you?



Bye Fridger

PS: say hello for me to "The Lady", will you?

My goodness... It's amazing that one comma can have such a profound
effect on the way one is percieved here. :wink:

At any rate, I really don't care either way Doctor Schrempp. I was having a good
laugh at your expense. Sorry... By the way, I hate to ruin the nice thoughts
you have for your daughter, but I was also "Made in Cambridge." Must be something
in the British air there. :lol:

Take care, Bob
Goodbye For now. - Bob
Bye, Bob
Later Dude! - (A bit much I agree!)
See ya, Bob

Aloha!

Well, to make it even more interesting, you could use Aloha, which means both, hello and goodbye, in Hawiian, or Ciao, from Italian. Then, people won't know if you're coming, going, or just plain talking to yourself! Image

Ciao!
