Thanks, I actually wrote Van Volxem, then thought "wait, German is
Von" and changed it.

As to ö, I have AllChars on my computer, and used to try very hard to
get my diacriticals right. But it seems that not every newsreader/
computer handles well, and leads to lots of ugly garbage when someone
quotes. So I stopped. I'm aware that the proper replacement is oe, but
in the English language wine boards where I post, virtually no one
does that. I've opted for ease of search rather than proper German.
