[ a lot of other excellent suggestions snipped ]

I speak neither language.

However, I notice the initial If.

Amongst some truly great discussion, we should remember pt:, and ask
again if all the nn: and nb: folks could swallow their differences
and skim through the other dialect as if it were their own. We have been
told that they all understand both.

Balkanisation has irretrievable consequences. We are in the information
business, and the information comes first.

Cheers,   Andy!
