I wonder what Markus will say when he realizes that his 45,000 thanks (give or take a few thousand) have gone poof!
"Mein Gott. Wer ist für diese Empörung verantwortlich?" ("My God. Who is responsible for this outrage?" according to Google Translate.)
Poor guy; I know he had his eye on 50,000 thanks. Oh well, he need only think of all those Euros he has on deposit at Deutsche Bank now. That is great consolation, indeed.
