Dear Listers,
you may be interested to know that dataplates are the latest danger to German
democracy.
A week or so ago, I saw a pair of mutt dataplates for sale on E-Bay. I
forwarded the item reference number of the pages to my friend in Germany. He, like
me, collects dataplate information for his research.
Imagine my amazement when he sent me the following reply:-
"Hello Ken,
can you send me the information from the two data plates?. Ebay donīt let me
visit this items. Look at the text below.

A slight touch of "decalcomania", methinks....
