How could I know ...

Post by Diedel »

Funny story (I think :roll: )

A few days ago I got a request by some guy who wants to do hires robot textures for D2X-XL for someone to send him dtx2 (resource management tool for Descent 2), as PD currently is down most of the time. The e-mail address was tharippa at XYZ dot de (XYZ is a big German freemail provider).

So I sent him the stuff and addressed him in German. He was completely baffled and asked back how I knew that he was German.

I just told him that it was because so many Americans register at XYZ dot de ...

Heh, I'm a prophet!

(Because I saw his question coming, ROFLMAO!)
