"Excuse me?! Are you trying to imply that it [Administrativia] is not
must-read? I should hope not, young man. After all, there could be a
pop-quiz any minute. And then what would you do if you hadn't read it?"

Are you kidding, mate? Administrativia is the best bit of Lowlands-L. All
right, _one_ of the _many_ best bits. I thoroughly enjoy finding out the
countries of origin of all the new members.

Pop quiz us any time! But make the questions dead easy.

Go raibh maith agat,

But bear in mind that many people are not natives or citizens of the
countries from which they join us.

I promise nothing, need to keep you on your toes.  It ain't gonna be no
piece of cake, no multiple-choice-type either.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

P.S.: "Are you kidding ..."  What is this Yankie-Doodlism doing in the mouth
of a good Cornish lad?
