How narrow minded and ignorant. This is the type of attitude that gives you
Americans a bad name. History does not begin with the Declaration of
independence. I for one really to look forward to the postings from Niven,
Laurel and the others there knowledge on the subject is the fruits of years of
work and I am very grateful that they want to share it with us. Long may they
continue.
As for us Scots and English using slang..... well I'd better not write what I'm
thinking or JSQ may unsubscibe me.
