°°° Sorry to bother you with this: Since this morning 
every 10 minutes the following appears on my screen:

Hmm. I've never made the effort to get a Green Card, so
these messages are somehow peculiar ... Not that is
has a practical dimension: My kids will certainly grow up
safer here in Old Yurp. (And then, you will have realized 
this, my deeply rooted Kulturnationalismus is more and 
more breaking through ...). However, the sheer technical       
fact is annoying, and although we have state-of-the-art
spam- and virus-filters, the messages get through 
a couple of times ev-ry hour. So if one of you computer
freaks, offlist if you like, could advise me regarding 
this, I would be really grateful!

PS. A visa for ME?! Don't they know that I help a friend
to bring out "The Muslim's Guide to GRAVITY's RAINBOW"?
