No qualms about free speech, so here's mine: Sense of humor does imply *some* threshold... I thought it odd, perhaps even rude, that Mr. Troxler chose that as his first post to the list... I freely use profanity with people who *know* me and wouldn't think to try "wry irony" with any but close friends (or people whose opinions etc, I don't respect)... Make of that what you will, but, note that I tried the "ignore it" route and am only responding to what has, unfortunately, taken on something of a life of its own... even less so that the "dead horse" which we've been beating. No disrespect, Damniel.

The Lowland Fling is a get-together of Loreena McKennitt fans in The Netherlands and Belgium, and this will be the fourth edition. It was in the spirit of the BosThang that this little feast of musical exploration came into existence. This time our host will be Richard Schellekens, which puts the location of this Fling again in the Netherlands, Tilburg. Doors open around 12:00h, and you're invited to join us and bring your favourite music along. Enya fans might be subjected to an extra thorough frisk at the door though ;-) Please send Richard an email if you intend to drop in; he'll send you directions if necessary. See you there!

Thanks, Daniel.

(By normal, I'm going by what I've seen in the archives) I admit to being a bit annoyed by the a certain thread at the time, and out of frustration, my finger slipped and hit the send key, but I tried to be a bit light-hearted about it (well maybe it didn't come across that way to some, that's understandable :-) ). And, no, OF COURSE I don't intend to (or think that I can) dictate what this or any other mailing list wants to talk about!!

Tamar and Jim and I went to hear lamb last night. They were quite wonderful but so bone-shaking loud that I could barely hear Lou's vocals. But wow they were jumping, and it was especially great to see people who were happy to be onstage and not afraid that it was uncool to smile and have a good time. That they did, and so did we. - --Neile n.p.
