Here's another negotiation:
I accept the luddite label, if you convince the GEZ* that I don't
have a television. They don't seem to believe me.
*: Gebuehreneinzugszentrale der oeffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten
in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

P.S. I know you have no idea what this is about, Robert.
Here, one must pay the GEZ to use one's own radio and television. Fees
charged per number of radios and televisions, including, those in your
workplace, in your vacation home, and in your car. If some knowledgeable
German person on this list can tell me what is the purpose of
this assinine law, I would surely appreciate it.
