Sorry, it was the sudden shock. When I saw the thread title I thought you might be writing a love letter to another member.

I can vouch for his taste in music. Everything else... you're on your own.

Interesting little tid bit from history.

The fact that these men lived in Vienna at the same time, not that Oberon wrote a love letter to Rhodes.

At that time, and before, Vienna was the place to be. Later, in the 20s, it became Berlin.

Famnous inhabitants of Vienna at the late 19th and early 20th century:

Philosophers:
Ludwig Boltzmann
Franz Brentano
Rudolf Carnap
Edmund Husserl
Ernst Mach
Alexius Meinong
Karl Popper
Moritz Schlick
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Mathemagicans
Kurt Gödel
Hans Hahn
Karl Menger
Richgard von Mises

Economists:
Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk
Gottfried von Haberler
Friedriuch A. von Hayek
Carl Menger
Fritz Machlup
Ludwig von Mises
Oscar Morgenstern
Joseph Schumpeter
Friedrich von Weser

Jurists:
Rudolff von Jehring
Hans Kelsen
Lorenz von Stein
Anton Menger

Psychologists:
Alfred Adler
Jospeh Breuer
Siegmund Freud
Karl Bühler

Historians and Sociologists:
Max Adler
Otto Bauer
Egon Friedell
Heinrich Friedjung
Paul Lazarsfeld
Gustaf Ratzenhofer
Alfred Schütz

Writers, Authors and Literature Critics:
Hermann Broch
Franz Grillparzer
Hugo von Hoffmannsthal
Karl Krauss
Fritz Mauthner
Robert Musil (a favourite of mine)
Arthur Schnitzler
Georg Trakl (poet that I like)
Otto Winiger
Stefan Zweig

Artists and Architects:
Gustav Klimt
Oskar Kokoschka
Adolf Loos
Egon Schiele

Composers:
Alban Berg
Johannes Brahms
Anton Bruckner
Franz Léhar
Gustav Mahler
Arnold Schönberg
Josph Strauss
Anton von Weber
Hugop Wolf.

Add to this the so very famous Vienna coffeehouse culture that together with the mixed cultural identity of the Habsburg empire formed the climate where this almost endless list of famous names in one small place and timeframe became possible. Today, Vienna is seen by many as just another lazy city. But there were times when Vienna rocked.

More importantly, does Mrs. Oberon?

Well, I don't think I'm typing from beyond the grave so she can't have twigged yet...

You can only imagine my reaction to the thread title. I was afraid someone was coming out of the closet.

Oberon, I do share your appreciation for the city of Vienna (hence, my forum name), but I'm afraid I will have to rebuff any other attentions. Maybe you will meet some other nice city-named person...

Now, I'm off to assert my masculinity by consuming large steaks, drinking multiple drams of hearty beer, and rooting for my favorite sports team. I am nothing if not a manly-man...

Oh, darn, I broke my nail on the keyboard. Medic!!!...
