Now we can turn to a discussion of a new issue: this corrupt Age of
Beamtenherrschaft (bribed officialdom). Should be interesting.

Dear John,

That was one bizarre response, man. I suggest you regroup a little, cool
off a bit, and then put this issue back into perspective. Peter thought he
was engaging in a noble endeavor, good for him. You then pointed out the
urban myth status of the circulation of this email, good for you. Beyond
that, I think nothing more needs to be said on this issue.

Thanks,

jjp
