Danke an die Mitarbeiter der App/ Suchmaschine! Ehrenwert und Vorbildlich solch Arbeit, leider versteht die Mehrheit nicht, wie wichtig sowas ist, eine Suchmaschine zu nutzen, die nicht komplett Manipuliert Arbeitet aus Werbeinteresse heraus. THX!!! PS: Mein Freundeskreis erfreut sich mittlerweile auch darüber, durch meine Mundpropaganda - natürlich Ehrenamtlich :))))
