Steady on, Ingmar! I'm still trying (and failing) to find time to write the
Nottingham English version!

Perhaps ár dTomás (Ó Cárthaigh) can jump in with the leathanach Ghaeilge?

Go raibh maith agat,

Dear Lowlanders,

Re: http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/

Please don't even as much as think that the anniversary presentation is
finished and done with.  Oh, nooo!  This is just the beginning.  It keeps
evolving, and we are still expecting goodies from you and guests.  :-)  So,
please follow our Críostóir's example by sending in more translations, sound
files and personal introductions, which you may send to me
(sassisch at yahoo.com).

Also, there is now a sort of visitors' book:
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=guests
It isn't an automatic one, just an archive for congratulatory messages.  So,
at the very least (or on top of other efforts, like Antero did) you might
want to leave a message there.  You can do so either by clicking on the
email link ("Send a Message") or by sending your message to
lowlands-l at lowlands-l.net with the subject line "Lowlands-L Anniversary
Guestbook".

Our Henry is still working on sound files.  If you sent him a file or a
cassette tape you might want to write to him (henry.pijffers at saxnot.com) and
ask him if he got it.

I have already thanked the many contributors and collaborators for their
work on the project (listed at
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=colophon).  I want to
send a special thank-you to those that went way beyond the call, such as
Kenneth Rohde Christiansen, Ingmar Roerdinkholder, Mike Szelog (Mr. Wow!)
and Gary Taylor, besides Mathieu van Woerkom and Henry Pijffers.  You're
real gems, guys!

OK, folks, keep it coming, and hold fast!

Reinhard/Ron
