Eigentlich finde ich diesen Fragebogen "200 Dinge" zu doof und würde ihn nie beantworten, so wie es fast alle machen, Don und Anke zum Beispiel. Ulf hat das ganze sogar übersetzt und Vasili hat diese Übersetzung benutzt.
Ich mache da allein deshalb mit, um meine neue "More" - Funktionalität auszuprobieren. Und nur unter Gejammer. Damit das klar ist.
