Jerry, mein Freund, weiszt du nicht that for us, Germans must be der 
Uberleute?  As important as, say, the French to folks in alt.fan.jerry-lewis?

And not to minimize the contributions of those Volk (und Halbvolk, Sami)
now dwelling 'mongst us speakers of a diminished and mongrelized version
of der Vatersprech, but a real, live, Deutschlander _in_ Deutschland --
should he be able to make himself understood :-) -- could be a handy
addition, especially if we can get him to trot over to Wolfsburg and get
us some free brochures or something from the museum. 

Wilkommen!
