Ian,

Thank you so much for the kind words.  And thank you Sandy for taking time
out of your busy schedule to read my words and give me help.  I do
appreciate it.  I want to thank Ron, John Tait, Andy Eagle, Richard Turner,
and everybody at Lowlands-L.  Since I do have a bit of Scottish blood I feel
like Scots is a leid that is my duty to learn and I have a strong desire to
do so!  And I want to learn to write it properly, in tone, style, rythm and
so forth.  I don't want to sound like some tourist trying to write Scots!!
I want to learn to get the feel for the real thing!

My thanks to everyone at Lowlands-L.  All of you have been so kind and
supportive.  I'm proud to know you!

Douglas
