Given the amount of communication that went on (one month I spend ~60h on the phone alone, talking to people about various debian issues) three cases of misunderstandings seem quite neglectible. I have been and will continue to listen carefully to people, be friendly, honest and try to explain my motives and background when suggesting something or asking questions. I also asked native speakers or people with better writing skills then I possess for advice and help. I will do so again in the coming term. /andreas
