What has made me a little nervous is the fact that although it seems that this list is a private entity and that it takes place in emails or a digest format, it is in fact, very public. Anyone can go to the xmission website and read the digests. I'm dismayed that Wolfgang's email address was shared with basically the world, and I'm thinking without his knowledge or consent.
Well, though I don't approve of posting private e-mail to the list without consent, that e-mail address has been mentioned here before -- back before Dirk was even on the list. It was also posted on amazon.com for a while, by Wolfgang himself! So it's not exactly top-secret...
A "Flur" (without umlaut) is a "meadow".
Hilarious note: a "Flurhueter" is a "forester", not Mr. Huetter who takes care of Mr. Fluer. Unless in a Dominas sense, maybe.
Perhaps I "take care of" the Flur, eh? -Eric Gartner
