Among my friends we have an expression for the unsaid part of the body. My
friends call it the "Antarctic winter," as it is not wise to be in
Antarctica during the winter. It also refers to the relation between things
in the south for which we say "down." I'm trying to tread lightly here, and
I hope that I am not confusing you.

Hey, Ben!

Thanks.  I'll award you two Lowlands-L prizes today: one for your sincere
endeavor to tread lightly (which is always appreciated), and one for
cryptograph description.  Whatever "things" you are talking about, I hope
that others on the List will have an easier time than I deciding what it is
you are talking about.  ;-)

Cheers!
Reinhard/Ron
