If I may, I'd like to endorse R. F. Hahn's sentiments here. I don't
understand Danish, unfortunately, and so don't understand all of the
programme, but I'm glad it was made. I met OleStig Andersen a number
of times during his visit to Scotland, and was glad of the chance to
be of help to him.

Dear Colin, Lowlanders,

This was one of several strange cases of synchronicity today.  I was just going
to post another follow-up message when I found your submission (above), Colin.
In fact, I was just going to apologize about failing to mention that included in
the program are snippets of an interview with you, our very own Lowlands-L
subscriber of long standing.  The program mentions your textbook project
(_Stairtin oot in Scots_, I believe), it's merits and target readership.  (Now
it's even harder to wait for it to come out.)  Needless to say that I felt
rather ... well, "proud" and certainly thrilled about that part of the program.

I can assure you that the program is of very high quality, outstanding in it's
bredth and depth even for a public radio program.  It is not above the heads of
ordinary listener yet is still quite interesting to the listener with
specialized knowledge.  It is very well presented, with different speakers'
segments and interview cuts arranged with smooth editing forming a cohesive
whole.  It ends with a general message about the impoverishment resulting from
the death of "small" languages.  In fact, I like it so much that I wish the
entire transcript were available in languages besides Danish.

Best regards,

Reinhard/Ron
