Dear Lowlanders,

As many of you may have noticed, we've had a server "downage" over the 
weekend.  Sorry about that.  I hope you didn't feel too deprived.  I know a 
couple of you did and wrote to me.

Whenever you wonder why no LL-L messages arrive for a while and have not 
received an announcement about an impending delay, please check the 
archives.  If the archive site cannot be accessed, as in this case, you can 
be sure the server is down.

Now, I hope none of your posting submissions got lost.  If you suspect yours 
did, please resubmit them.  (This is one of those cases that reminds you to 
send a copy to yourself and delete it after you find the submission posted.)

Anyway, we are back up and running now.  So it's time to get back into the 
saddle.

The anniversary site keeps begging for more attention
(http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/).  The latest translation is in Tok 
Pisin (Neo-Melanesian, 
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=tokpisin), the contact 
language we discussed recently.  It really is an interesting language in 
many regards.  I have posted it with vocabulary help.  (Just rest your 
cursor on any word or phrase.)

Hello and welcome to all of you who joined us very recently!  The latest are 
from Netherlands Limburg, Gelderland, Washington State, Nevada, Arkansas and 
Italy.  The month's complete list will appear in my next monthly report. 
New Lowlanders, you are welcome to "lurk."  But we'd be even more pleased if 
you were "talkers."  Please don't be shy!  We are not in the habit of 
putting folks down.  No, you do not need to be "experts."

Best regards,
Reinhard "Ron" F. Hahn
