*rotfl* At the risk of getting banned from Bremen for life: a) How many hundreds of years ago was this model retired in Bremen ? b) How many decades is Bremen now the poorest state in Germany living from subsidies by other states ?

I think it does work well when there is sufficient financial responsibilities on all sides and i am quite confident this is the case for IETF.
