Just to reassure you, Ron:
While I have to skip many postings for lack of time, the "Administrativia"
(or shouldn´t it be "Administrativa"?)
I never skip. How else could I stay up to date?

Hi, Mike!

Great to hear from you again!  I've missed you but figured you're just
enjoying Occitania's undoubtedly gorgeous summer weather.

> (or shouldn´t it be "Administrativa"?)

That's what I used to think, too.  But I have learned since that
"administrativia" is correct, being the plural of neuter "administrativium'
(administrative matter).

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron,

Hahn, who is going to grow up in Netherlands Limburg with her Low
Saxon-Limburgish-German father and her Bavarian mother]
