<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal">Reinhard,</p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">thanks for your
answer. We've just halftime in the football match between The Netherlands and </span>Spain<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">,
so I have to hurry up ;-)</span>!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: teal;">> Irrespective
of what my own view is in this matter, I need to point out that I understand
this endeavor to aim at the </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: teal;">> institution
of a specifically <i>Low Saxon</i> flag, not one of more general “Ingveonia”, “Lowlands” or such. At least this is my </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: teal;">> understanding
of the information presented. This might explain what you are missing the
mentioned argument in this thread.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Yes, you're right -
I'm a little bit irritated by the term "Noordland-Flagg". This could
include more than 'just' the language of LS.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">But if it exclusively
shall represent <em><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">'Lowlands'</span></em>
this doesn't change my point of view too much.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">If you read one of
the links Marcus gave us you'll find the argument that the German semi-province of Eastern Frisia doesn't feel comfortable
itself with any Saxon symbols like a horse. And that is probably the community
with the greatest number of Low Saxon speakers in Germany.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">The same could be
valid for our closely neighboured Wurt-Frisians as well as for the Northern
Frisians in Schleswig-Holstein.<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">And
what about the (as you named them some weeks ago...) "colonial" ;-)
provinces with speakers of LS - as Mecklenburg
in special?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">So I think these
more neutral heraldic (or [German:] 'Vexillologie' - never heard this word
before) should not become overloaded by symbols of the type others than Saxons
can't identify themselves with.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Whatever - I like
this flag!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">The match goes on!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Allerbest!</span></p>
