I'm glad to hear it. I think adding a statement up front would
actually perpetuate the stereotype that all Germanic subjects are
'suspect' unless otherwise specified.

Unfortunately, I think we've all encountered both excellent
open-minded, informative sites for any ethnic group and darker
prejudiced sites for the same group. But I don't think a website has
to apologize for the any other sites they do not support (unless a
story hits the New York Times or something).

My thoughts.

Thank you very much, Elizabeth.  Your support, like everyone else's, is very
much appreciated.

Although I put a bit more time and effort into this list than most everyone
else (with the exception of Mathieu van Woerkom perhaps), and a bit of money
as well, I have never thought of Lowlands-L as *my* list, but as *our* list,
and this is how it is going to remain.  This ought to come with sharing of
decision-making, so responses like the ones in this thread of most welcome
and gratifying.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
