Hi,

Oh, little poor me, feeling forced to react to the great Kahuna:
The title should have a verb [preferably expressing activity] and a question
mark [?].
Don't be shy, Kahuna, you're on the right path.

Thanks, poor little Theo ... but I don't follow.

"Things They Left Us" is supposed to mean "(some) things (that/which) they
(have) left us (= bequeathed/handed down to us)" ("dingen die zij aan ons
hebben nagelaten/vermaakt/overleverd"). It is not a sentence but a noun
phrase.

Oh, and the Kahuna (http://lowlands-l.net/treasures/kahuna.htm) isn't
involved in these projects. He's not that creative, is more of an observer
and figure head.

Groeten,
Reinhard/Ron
