Yup. I haven't figured out if the Munich (München) cops are trying to
cause problems and throw us back into the medieval ages or they really are
trying to help. They're also the ones who caused compuserv all the probs
in Europe due to carrying newsgroups that had porn. Compuserv turned off
all news services in Europe for a while due to that. OTOH, they were one
of the first police orgs to have people specializing in computer and
Internet stuff.

Write pages dedicated to Gnutella chocolate spread and create more work
for them :).
