It's somewhat late in the thread but:
- The German word "Runde" - apparently translated to "round" - never
  ever has had any meaning/interpretation related to weapons or
  ammunition in German (TTBOMK - my military is "only" army-like so it
  should at least hold for guns, rifles, machine guns and the like).

  Is the google-translator really that crappy?!
  Perhaps Google should seriously think about plain simply delete it.

- Top-quoting (in German "TOFU": "Text Oben, Fullquote Unten" in
  English "Text above, the full-quote below") sucks because
  TTBOMK no language in the world starts at the bottom.
  And no, there is no excuse - especially not "it's the default" for
  some not-to-be-names MUAs or "everyone does it" because not everyone
  does it (unless one doesn't know any techies and only know users of
  said MUAs).

- In the context of opennic (and similar organizations), everyone
  should be capable to write and understand enough English to actually
  use it in public.
  Obvious typos, spelling mistakes, and grammar errors should be 
  silently ignored.

- Using languages which are not understand by all is at least impolite.
  It's in every ftf-conversation impolite so why should it be
  different hereover?
  And no, trolling doesn't make anything better - au contraire.

[ TOFU deleted ]

MfG,
        Bernd
