Honorable Sir, Kahuna!



Please - forgive me my audiaciousness to write You on the direct way. But as
I hope You soon will see that there is a good reason for this act of
disrespectfulness.



According to my opinion we have got a member amongst Your followers to
deserve a very special decoration for his extraordinary fortitude. Though
heavily tortured by a painful malady he didn't miss his duties for just one
day and continued guiding our more or less trivial communication from his
sickbed.

Thus I would like You to vote for the nomination of this brave man for a
"Medal of Acquittal", but in the golden format.



Kahuna, Sir, I'm one of Your lowest subjects, unworthy to deserve a private
audience in Your 'Holy Grale", but I'm convinced that some of Your Majesty's
honorable confidants of the Olden Time may be able to counsel You in this
case.



Please don't insist on me to mention the name of this man - I should feel to
be a kind of silly lobbyist then. I'm sure Your Majesty will agree at once -
there is definitely only one single possibility.



Your most humble servant, Sir, also dares to suggest to give this brave man
an eternal extraordinary place in Your 'Hall of Honour'.



Your's respectfully



Jonny Meibohm

Thanks, Jonny.

If it is who I think you are referring to, I have to say that the Kahuna has
been taking his presence and engagement for granted. So he looked a bit
perplexed for a minute or so when I submitted your petition to him. However,
the subservient, grandiose tone of your submission must have made a
difference (and he is a sucker for pomp and circumstance, as you know), for
it prompted him to induct the following seven Lowlanders into the Hall of
Honor:



·          David B. Frank

·          Jenny Kool

·          Lucas Annear

·          Paul Anisman

·          Reinhard "Ron" Hahn

·          Robert Haslach

·          Wolfram Antepohl

So congratulations to the new inductees!

Anyone should feel free to nominate his- or herself or anyone else if there
is some sort of merit, usually in the form of participation.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
