Abstract

Preparing this paper I got a distress-warrant from the tax-collector’s office. A printed letter in archaic Dutch, of which the compulsive tone could not be misunderstood. The office is nearly nextdoor to our facility, so I only had to tell our neighbours they had made a mistake. As their computer declared I was right, I could go on elaborating “compulsion”.
