Thank you, Jonny - that is very funny!

Now .. I must do what I can to help Ron ensure 'Lowlands Travel' is
braministic ('worthy of praise')...

Cheers,

Pat

Well, "worthy of praise" is definitely appropriate and is, as a measure of
encouragement, what the Kahuna's modus operandi is based on.  As for
"brahmanistic," I'd rather you didn't.  I'm not that fond of the idea of
castes and of self-proclaimed superiors, priestly or otherwise, especially
"superiors" descended from a "superior" invading "race" (e.g. Aryan in
Munda-Dravidian Southern Asia), the supposedly only rightful keepers of
purity and divinity.  I personally think human history has had enough of
that, and LL-L can very well manage without it.

The nice thing about the Lowlands is that they're literally down to earth.
You can't go any lower, and that's the way we like it, isn't it?  Those that
don't ascend don't descend.

Cheerio! (Fruit Loops!)
