Thanks for this posting of yours John!
In fact I was reading the text of Stephan and was not sure, how to understand
it. If there was a joke, then I surely missed it. Getting a joke in a foreign
language is not too easy sometimes....
On the other hand I'm feeling always a little proud, when people think of me
being that active (and successful!) in making hoaxes. But it is right: I never
made a Lego hoax on another day than april the first.
Anyway: who is Stephen and why should I care about thing he writes? He has done
2 postings in lugnet.trains so far (AFAIK) and he seems to have a little
paranoia about me. ;-))
