Dear Christian
Thank you very much for your note on the Zweig page. I am very grateful that you have sorted it out better and updated the URL but I must say that I found your tone of voice rather unkind and patronising. I do know the difference between ss and ß but I did not know how to type one in Wikipedia and I don't have a German keyboard so I went for an easier approach. For most purposes it is close enough that it seems to be understood, at least; and the struggles that I used to have to stop people "correcting" the vowel to an "i" seem to have stopped around the time I made the comment. To equate those attempts to respell it wrongly with my using ss instead of the correct character seems simply unfair to me, allowing no credit for what little I did manage to do with this hint. You could have made the same correction, and it is perfectly appropriate and helpful that you did, without the dig at my efforts. I would be most grateful if you would please consider refactoring your comments into a less confrontational form. This place, believe me, is very much better when people work together in a friendly atmosphere than when they are on each other's backs. Thanks and best wishes, DBaK ( talk) 16:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
