Sorry to take the wind out of your sails, Fernando, but I never said (nor
implied) that Hans is Rolf.

Also, I know we are grown-ups here, but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate
crap. If I started posting gay kiddie porn on CCC, would you want me kicked out?
Or would you write long posts about how we are all adults and if we don't like
gay kiddie porn, we can just look the other way? IMO, it is weak to defend Hans
by putting the blame on everybody else.
