Although Ron isn't subscribed to this list, so far as far as I can tell he's the only native speaker who has even contributed to this discussion.
Mark,
since you quote Ron so frequently I checked out his user page at "Lowlands-L" a while ago to get a vague idea who he is. His academic accomplishments are obvious. But interestingly however, he doesn't claim being a native speaker of Low Saxon himself ! Instead, he writes "my native German". Furthermore, from what can be read there he seems to have emigrated overseas decades ago, so his idea of Platt might be slightly outdated because the Platt used today is surely different from to one used a generation ago.
