Dear list,

inspired by the discussion on the TV coverage of the Olympics in SKorea
I
have watched our German television a bit more closely under this aspect.
It
seems to me that, in fact, most reports are on the (harshly criticized,
since seen as rather poor) results of the German athlets. The "blue
chips"
among the contests like the 100m sprints or the finals in swimming are
aired, but not much more. At least all the results are published. What
about those highlights on Korean TV? 

Concerning academic vs "mugunghwa", the only thing I have serious
problems
with are the (rather rare) cases when postings hit below the belt,
either
in contents or form. As long as we all are able to maintain a certain
degree of mutual respect, I agree that there is no need to worry thanks
to
the DEL key. 

Best,

Rudiger
