Hardy:

Your pithy humour is a delight.=20
We can always count on you for a definition or explanation that goes just a l=
ittle beyond....and inevitably elicits a smile (or in this case a good laugh=
, at least, for me).=20

Thanks for all you do - you are one of the PILLARS of the List and you conne=
ct us to Cz of old in a truly special way.

I can explain this:
 Wohlgeborn means well-born .The birth was successful. Baby survived.
  Hochgeborn means high -born if born from 3-rd floor upwards,
   Hochwohlgeborn is a combination of the two, very appreciated title. very
rare !
