Re: VMs: Sagittarius / crossbow update...

[Elmar Vogt <elvogt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hei Nick,

Count me in for the translation. Being a native German with some interest in 
the middle ages (as previous posters pointed out, in the wake of their web 
research ;-), perhaps I can shed a little light. (And I'm quite curious to 
learn about the findings myself ;-)

Cheers,

	Elmar

know that we know. There are known unknowns - that is to say, there are
things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown
unknowns - there are things we do not know we don't know. And each year
we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns." (Rumsfeld)
