Taboo subject?
Danke Deutschland
Summary: A timely joke to accompany Part 5 of the current series; as I myself discovered last month, the coalition government is (or was; there was an election recently) totally covering up EPO abuses and for two weeks already they refuse to even reply to my multiple polite and cordial E-mails (after initial interest, correspondence, and even phonecalls from them); so it certainly feels like someone up above said "NICHT!!!" and they're instructed to no longer communicate on this matter
