<div>Dear
Mark:</div>
<div>Â </div>
<div>Subject: LL-L
"Lists"</div>
<div>Â </div>
<div>Referring to
your observation in LL-L "Holidays" 2009.06.19 (01) [EN]:</div><div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><font size="3">"Speaking of father
figures, Ron holds that distinction here on Lowlands-L in my opinion.Â
Recently, I went to the Linguistlist site to see whether I could find lists
similar to Lowlands about other languages, and I couldn’t."</font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span>Â </div>
</div><div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><font size="3">Seconded, from
this I.T. illiterate. Otherwise I would go further & object that I have
found no lists similar to ours on any other subject. Certain sure if there was
anything on a par with it covering such matter as mythology I would know. The
best I can do in that line is read Frazer & Terry
Pratchett.</font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span>Â </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><font size="3">Daniel Defoe put
these words in Robinson Crusoe's mouth, 'Mathematicks is the mother of all
crafts.' No less truly is Language the mother of all wisdom. You can see it
flowing out from all the letters & incidentally particularly Ron's, how
so straightened a base as Lowlands Languages draws into its ambit minutiae of
the sciences at several removes from speech as such. & (considering his
response to your letter, making only passing mention of the celebrative days due
this solstice) Ron is also very strong on the fundamental mythos of our Lowlands
Peoples, which is fine by me.</font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span>Â </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><font size="3">Yrs, Mark
Dreyer. <br></font></span></div></div>
