and on the other side i make a better job as syadmin and developer like a
lot of people, native speakers or not, so what is your point here?

that i should set my focus to a perfect english and political correctness
instead technical facts? sorry, my day has only 24 hours

so please go out and tell this my enlish teacher who told me i means "ich"
 		
I: ich
me: mich, mir, ich
myself: mich, mir, selbst, ich

and if you think here that "i" should be "I", sorry it does
not bother me because there are *a lot* of words in the
german language beginning with uppercase letters while
at the same time in context of internet communication
it is often ignored and does not matter

i am not interested at all in such nitpicker discussions
because i am technican and not a grammar doctor

well, i would be interested to read your german in case you are unsure
how to express things exactly which you have in mind in your native
language and you have not too much time beause you are answering
posts in your paid working time, interrupting you *daily job* to
search living examples in your own or companies configurations
while try to disclose internal informations at the same time

if you think grammar and always find the perfect words for all is more
worth than this technical knowledge *please* tell your mailprogram
supress posts from me before start demanding how exactly people
have to express their help

the same for uppercase/lowercase because a native enlish speaker will have
a hard time to realize what words in german are written uppercase and what
exceptions are there

some people on english list simply should realize that not every
used word which *could* be interpreted as abusive is meant that
way while the *permanent* presumption from some people that
*aynting* i say is meant abusive finally leads to anger and
not only once was the reason to get *really* abusive *because*
this anger - cause and effect
