3.1 Why did your pages move?
   Good you asked this question!

   My former provider, the Technical University of Aachen (RWTH Aachen), Germany, preferred to close all students' web sites at once! Officially (please note this was only the official reason!) it has been said that some image and name copyright violations forced them to close down all the sites before lawyers sue for it. If I could just add an insignificant (rhetorical) question: Would it have been too utopian for a technical university with a large staff and approx. 35,000 students to hand out declarations to the web site creators to sign that we are responsible and liable for our contents? Probably (officially) yes.

   Infact though, the truth behind that topic was that this university has been criticized by some students who just used their right of freedom of expression. Certainly, this could not have been the official reason. . . What a disgrace!

   Officials said, that if students really would like to have thier own web site they could also pay for it. . . Oops!

   Luckily, there are free offers too! So, please continue to use this offer. Thanks to my provider at this time!

   My former e-mail is not valid anymore, too. You will find an e-mail link on every page's bottom.

3.2 What happend to the OlibeM pages?
   Some of you know I have had some web pages on electronic music before (see 3.1). They have been called OlibeM (Online information board for electronic music). Since I renewed my pages I gave it a new name too. And I think it is more appropriate now: E-MUSIC DIRECTORY.

   It focuses on listing info on electronic music artists and electronic music in general. Read point «1.» above to get to know what electronic music is.

   So, generally the OlibeM-pages are merged into this project but whereas OlibeM has been available bilingually (German and English) the E-MUSIC DIRECTORY is mainly supposed to be in English.

3.3 Why don't you write the texts in italics anymore?
   I like italics or oblique fonts, though as you can see it's hard to read on the Web! :-(
3.4 Why are your pages so stylish?
   Quite simple: Design :^)
3.5 I can see your web pages only in black and white. Is my monitor defect?
   Either your monitor or. . .
3.6 Can I switch the display to colour?    So far there is no plug-in. . .but I'm going to colourize my pages bit by bit.
3.7 I noticed, your Web pages aren't updated frequently...    Yes *sob*

   I have only limited time to for leisure -- very limited indeed. Please, be patient and come back soon though.
