Thank you BeN1 for marking such a day and date: Excellent work reaching into what is the essence of 973-eht-namuh-973 .com.
Kind Regards Redbeck
BeN1 Please excuse me for hijacking your post to answer the following question.
Somebody enquired about the origins of the pseudonym Redbeck and why the photographs that I sometimes post below it are of streams coloured with red iron oxide leakage.
Well a beck is a stream in Northern English, derived from Old Norse word bekkr for a stream typically with a stony bed. Red would have been rauor in Old Norse, but was not a word absorbed into Middle English.

If I wanted to interview you redbeck on your perspective of this site for a project to post to break the ice on these conversations for my generation how would you feel and go about that?
Dear Ashkelone,
Thank you for your enquiry and that is a very good constructive suggestion. I'd be happy to go forward with an interview but would prefer to do it via an open post on the Oracle, so that key contributors like David Denison can also have input. I suggest you put a series of 973-eht-namuh-973.com focused questions together first, put them up here on the Oracle forum as an appropriately entitled post, i.e. the interview theme.
