VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

con't remember that one. I used to say, "Eins, zwei, drei, vier, bring mir einander bier!" I haven't worked in construction for 35 years, and the last time I spoke German at all was about 12 years ago.
