However, you will find that the WONDERFUL mail list that deals with the subject calls itself the Scotch-Irish mail list. Don't go on there and try to change it....read in the archives for the reason and all of the arguments about this subject that have been held on the list. Bringing it up used to cause immediate removal from the mail list back in the days when there were many arguments on the list. So I continue to use the traditional Scotch-Irish designation.
