On the Sláinte issue, my Irish dictionary gives this definition:
Sláinte - f4 health, (drink) toast
meaning that it is the 4th type of declention for the noun slán (health), and that it is also used as a toast.
I see no problem with Rindy using this word as her signature. There is nothing offesive or bad about it. With all of the bad things that we Mods have to watch out for, I am not going to concern myself over someone using a sig that is usually used as a toast! There is nothing sexual, sexist, racist or anything else about it, so Rindy - use it with pride if you like. That's your choice.
Maddy, I'm truly sorry if you find the term offensive, but, regardless of whether or not the word is being properly used in this context, Rindy -and all of the rest of us for that matter - has the right to use whatever she wants as her sig as long as its not vulgar or rude. I hope you can understand that.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Well, you beat me because I come on again to delete my post. I am aware that many people are not interested in that matter anyawy.
First of: I didn't mention Rindy with one single word secondly: What makes you think I am offended?
My big mistake is that I think people are like me, curious and eager to learn. If I use slainte in the wrong context and somebody would explain it to me, I would appreciate the learning opportunity. Probably felt a little stupid as I failed to research properly, but would appreciate the learning nonetheless.
I am sorry if somebody feels offended by my offer to help. I will humbly retreat.
Maddie, I'm sorry if my post sounded abrupt, it was not meant to. I apologize if you thought I was being rough with you. I just wanted to clear up some conderns that were expressed to me in a pm. No need to retreat, okay? We're still all friends here!
Okay, nuff said on this! Let's get back to talking about CAD!
CelticRose: I know this is off the subject of CAD.But it is nice to see you again,and Merry Christmas
Hey Rindy I got it to work. Thanks

Cynni! Great to see you again too! I have missed y'all immensely, but just not enough hours in the day and then when the big crash happened well that really took my pants and put them in a big wad!
Here is an update from Joe Mackenzie..Thanks for taking the time for your fans.
There will be a couple of new band members still to add I am currently trying to decide from about six other people who will eventually become part of the new line up. Anyway Clann An Drumma continues as always and we have an exiting year ahead of us lots of countries to visit and lots of film work too so keep your eyes open ,slainte joe.
With James and Clann An Drummas permission I added some photos of them playing at Hogmanay 2005/2006. They are at the entrance gate to George Square, Glasgow The attendance was around 25,000.
You can find these pictures in the Concert Photos in the Photo Gallery under the Services at the top of the board & on their website..
I don't visit that forum very often but thank goodness the last time I did they had gotten rid of that silly Karma thing! Someone was not playing nice and the Webbie was smart enough to do away with that nonsense.
