I didn't save Anselm's message but I seem to recall that he didn't exclude
postings on matters concerning 9/11 as long as the bulk of the message was
related to SCD.

Not Mairi's Wedding, but the same sort of question for Miss G's Strathspey:
I would like to know what folks think about "staying in the middle" as the
1st Cpl finishes corner-partner turns before dancing three-hands-across with
the supporting couples.  I find it satisfying to finish the left-hand turn
with my partner at the set lines and then surge forward toward the 2d cpl
for the hands across figure; staying in the center defeats this, to my mind.

I should add here that I don't have the original/official instructions for
this dance; the cheat sheet for Ramblewood specified doing in that way.
