But I have learned a long time ago that `moin' (or `moin moin'), as used in Northern Germany, is a greeting independent from the time of day (making it especially appropriate for an international forum such as this) and I have made a habit of using it since then. In the Lower Rhine area, you will hear `morjen' (mo:(r)jen), but that's just a dialect form of `guten morgen' (`good morning'). tg
