Now one of the great CCC posters is Erik Roggenburg. I have had enough of reading this "Yes, my last name IS Dutch. Just don't ask me what it means!" Enrico and I need to know!!?
Harvey,
I already asked Eric some time ago. I was told it was a city in Holland............. I was hoping it was something more risque!
Me to Moderators please delete the thread again if Erik confirms this and please issue erik with a lifetime ban.

Close. It's a city in Germany: http://www.roggenburg.de/
and also a city in Switzerland.
As far as I know there is no city called Roggenburg in the Netherlands.
If you try to translate the name (from Dutch) the best I can come up with is 'City of (sting)rays'.

Hi Richard,
'Roggen' is a kind of corn in German.
It is used for darker bread and darker beers.
Good luck in Leiden!
