THE Germans ?

Heck, "Skysail" is a relatively small group within an 80 mio nation,
 - the large majority doesnt even know to launch a childrens kite  ;-)

Using terms like "we" and "they" and "THE" Germans (or whoever)
sounds like a talk around 1900 in an Emperors navy bar somewhere.
Its 2007.

Otherwise, the Skysail kite group is doing a good job,
technically and financially and protionally. All pros in their field.
