Welcome to the list, Karl. Please don't expect any philosophy out of me.
I
abjure philosophy. It's the Devil's workshop. Never think twice, I say,
and seldom once. "Let your needs be your guide." I think Kant said
that.
Or maybe it was me. Who knows? Who cares? Here's a hint on how to play
it
right on Lit-Id:

Ditto, Willkomen.
Oddly, the Americans (some of them) say, 'well-cum'. But it's not 'cum' as
in 'cum', nor 'well' as in 'well'; it's well as in will.
In Italy they say benvenuto, well-come. But they _are_ Italians.
Oddly, I once had a lover whose name was Droegge, and he was from Northern
Germany, although his father was from Groningen, Netherlands -- lovely area
that: PlattsDeutsche and all that -- I LOVE the Frisians, and have been
repeatedly to Leeuwaarden, and my favourite book EVER is "Riddle of the
Sands" with Michael York.
Isherwood loved Hamburg. He visited often, but then he spoke fluent German
("Hello, sailor") -- just joking.
