No offense meant here in relation to your Germanic heritage: I
interpreted this as a tounge-in-cheek reference to the methodical
approach noted in German engineering, some might say anal retentive. As
an analogy your research into DM might be viewed as DM. Again no offense
at all intended.

Happy Friday! I get two whole days to work on my van this weekend,
YEA!!!

Subject: What is DM?

My curiosity got the better of me and I followed the link below.  It was
an interesting article, and for the most part, I agree with it, however,
what the heck is the "Deutsches Methode" (DM)??

I've been in the German car repair business since the 70's, and I've
never heard of the "Deutsches Methode".  So I asked my father who is
German, and a VW & Mercedes factory trained mechanic, and he's never
heard of the "Deutsches Methode".  I Googled "Deutsches Methode",
nothing.

It sounded so official, I just had to check.

Figured it was some kind of Frydaye thing.

Cheers,

Jeff
