Gemeinschaftsgeful is a beautiful word. Even more off topic, my last name, Pann, as best I can estimate, is from Panne, which means mechanical breakdown.
Why "mechanical breakdown" would be such a short word in German rather than a long concatenation of strung-together words I don't know, but it is what it is and I am apparently it.

Kudos! :D We are getting truly off topic, but my favorite German compound is 'Gemeinschaftsgefül' (if I have spelled it correctly). It's a real word, taken from Adlerian psychology, and is rather lovely. It means, as best I know, 'a spontaneous feeling of unity with the whole of Mankind'. Which I get a bit of from this group. To make this e-mail a bit more on-topic, in the UK at least I have never come across 'User's Manual', only 'User Manual' or 'User Guide'. -- Steve _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as tp...@telecomsys.com.
