It's okay, Heiko- because I'm absolutely not interested in this kind of
stuff. You are too far offside from *my* language. Go on as you must and
like.

Elk een vun us hett sien egene Blaaskappell.  Wenn de maal all up eenmaal 
marscheern un blasen doot, denn is dat faken 'n kakophoonsch Spektakel as bi 
'n Ümtog.  Man wi schullen nich vergeten, dat de Ümtog wichtiger is, bäter 
as tohuus' mit 'n lang Muul achter'n Aven to sitten.

Heiko, Jonny un ik hebbt elk sien egen Verschääl, dinkt nich jümmer in 
allens œver eens.  Man ik wäät, dat wi up de sülvige Siet fechten doot, un 
daarwägen kiek ik jüm as Frünnen an, nich as Fienden.  Bäter 'n Koalitschoon 
as gaar niks, segg ik.  Un mit 'n lütt bäten Humoor geiht allens bäter.

Grötens,
Reinhard/Ron
