But no, *i* find this funny! Ie in many, especially cultural aspects the DDR was more like "original" Germany, and if you look at the history of Germanist discussions, i quoted one from Wikipedia in one of the first of my too many posts, then isn't it funny to scream on the front page "but hey, have a look, *here it is*!", while at the same time being all-correct and submissive on the lengthy inside?
