I thought you already had two egos: Reinhard & Ron, and both could be
split out further: Reinhard is first German, then Low Saxon, and Ron is
Australian, and a bit Israeli, becoming more and more American etc...

About your creation: so where the # did you get that picture at the A-site
huh, and who is that in reality then?

No, that kite won't fly (die vlieger gaat niet op), Kahuna...

But I still don't like the animosity between you Gabriele and you Reinhard.
I don't want to interfere, but it looks as if nothing one of you says will
ever be right to the other, maybe some kind of shrink really could do a
good job here... I don't know, but it's not pleasant to watch... Sorry.

So from now on, you know who to blame for my more outrageous contributions,
hee hee.

(Funny, "whom to blame" would be more correct, but would anyone really say
that?)

But while we are confessing... you all know, of course, that Jonny doesn't
really exist, either? He is merely a figment of MY imagination... what I
like to call my inner curmudgeon... (hope he won't look that one up... if he
does, remember this is really Ron speaking!).

Heather, has it ever occurred to you that you may actually be the only real
person in this forum? :-)))

Sorry, Ingmar.  I for one will try to be sensitive to your sensitivities.

Heather, as you undoubtedly know, I was merely joking.  Now, don't let
that Gabriele take advantage of this by messing with your head!

Remember that peanuts don't hurt, but do duck when projectiles look more
like coconuts!

Furthermore, always remember the following snippets of wisdom:

(1) Praise is the sagacious method to get symphaty from sameone.

(2) So much the sagacious someone, so much more he keeps his
    mouth.

(3) The conscious with sagacious destitute exactly can become
    good stimulus.

Pensively,
Reinhard/Ron
