JJ, it still beats. But, just for kicks, why not ask him to have a look? I wonder what the answer to "We got a weird German liberal kind of guy on our diecast aircraft internet forum, and I´d like you to monitor his cardiac activities for a while, just to be sure. Not sure whether he has a heart, though - you know how Europeans are. Especially Germans. North Germans in particular. They torpedo Chilean freighters, so it may be safe to say no heart is present, but, like I said before, we want to ascertain our assumption. When would it possibly suit you to depart for Hannover? I´ve been told that they serve Herrenhäuser beer there."
No critizism of the honorable senator was intended; I was rather wondering if the letter would get through to him or be answered by one of his staff, without the senator himself having seen or read it.
Sort of like writing to the president as a kid - I´m not sure if Mr Bush gets to read all the letters that are written to him, let alone answer them. If he did, I guess he´d have very little time to do the things he gets paid for...
