Thanks Scott.
PS for readers of list advocacy@
	Reason you didnt see my original post (which Scott luckily
	quoted in full) was a temporary addressing problem my end).
Rosa,
2 possibilities:
- Recruit an English writer from list on header here,
  based on English text & translate. or ..
- Recruit a German writer, (My written German grammar is too horrible), 
  eg from Lists:
	bim at berklix.org		subscribe via majordomo at berklix.org
	*@de.freebsd.de		subscribe via majordomo at de.freebsd.org
I'm a member of bim@ & could relay to bim@ if you want.
