Hmmm, a blurb and a picture... since Lowlands does not accept attachments,
where exactly would we submit that?

Now all I need to do is find a picture of a moose that looks like Mae
West...

"...of that of a gnat's"?

The attention span may be shrinking, but so is people's sense of grammar...
:-)

Have a peanut, Ron - it's on me!

Thanks, I think.

Did I say they are to be sent to the List, silly?  Now who's the gnat _mit
Ohren_ here?

You are supposed to send them to *me* at lowlands-l at lowlands-l.net (or at
sassisch at yahoo.com).  The server that doesn't accept attachments is the LIST
server (lowlands-l at listserv.linguistlist.org).

Be yourself, just as long as you pose wearing a set of moose antlers and
Mickey Moose ears at the same time!
