A. Milne quite obviously doesn't read the newsgroup. Distributing it widely in direct neglect of the orders of city governments. "Excellent responses" as in "being shred and thrown into their faces". And yes, people don't like being fed propaganda...

As always, gross generalities. It was a decision regarding their standing in _Hamburg_ and only there, not all over Germany as he implies. Furthermore they are allowed to distribute their garbadge _in_front_of_ their Hamburg franchise, not all over the town.

And what took him so long to dig this up? I read about it almost a week ago, wondering what the clams will make of it. They made what I thought.

Oh, and Andy, I still do wait for the other decision in favor of the clams...
