Beste Ron,

You are going on to make Your threat come true:

In what meaning did You use 'avid'? Avid for fame or just hungry and greedy?
I don't need any fame, I don't like it at the end, but I have been infected
to be hungry (in permanence)  by one enthusiastic, in a positiv sense
fanatizised, honorable and loveable "Saxonist". His name is R.F. Hahn!

To my etymological capability: there is nothing like that! It's just a
collector's passion, and I like to offer and to dicuss it with people of the
LL-kind. Included is, again, a man I have learned to see him "flip" out,
sometimes, very emotionally. But just and alone, when OUR jointed and common
Low-Saxon, with all its varieties, seems to be in whatever a danger.

Greutens/sincerely

Thanks for sharing all of that, Jonny.

I'm glad you added the "in a positiv sense" and "honorable and loveable"
bits, for you could have fooled me otherwise.  Well, yes, I resemble those
remarks.

I can't help it, un-Lowlandic though it may seem.  Must be my hot-blooded
Slavonic genes or family culture, or wherever some of my mysterious
ancestors hailed from.  (My brother once suggested origins farther east than
that, probably in an attempt to make sense of his even more Siberian looks.)
:-)

> To my etymological capability:

Actually, I was referring to our Heather's etymological passion and acumen.
However, I guess I might as well have meant you.  So, are you going to take
all those flatteries back now?

Hold Dy vuchtig (man nich altou vuchtig)!

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
