Did Lowlands-L ever have anything to do with the afore mentioned URL?
Surely the whole thing is a case of mistaken identity?

Andy,

Lowlands-L *never* had any dealings with that organization.  In fact, misled
by the misspelled URL, it took me until today to find its website:
www.newhansa.netfirms.com .

I find it extremely surprising -- to put it mildly -- that we got mentioned
in the same "breath" with it.  If it is not a case of mistaken identity I
assume it is a case of insufficient research and jumping to false
conclusions that lead to the erroneous assumption that Lowlands-L aims at
(re-)establishing some sort of fantasy land, some sort of Lowlands utopia.
Anyone who spends as little as five minutes dealing with us will know that
this is a totally unfounded, ludicrous assumption, if not an insult to our
intelligence.

Cheers!
Reinhard/Ron
