Hi Bob,
In reference to this list, was the only reference where I would use the term
Hessian, the "OUR" was not meant to really include the members of the list
but the list its self. The list is a non enity, the list manager stands in
as that enity.... Does that make sence? The list uses that term to define
the difference between the American soldiers, the English soldiers and the
German soldiers. this list is for the Hessian soldier. So thus Hessian is
OUR term for the German soldier....

If this list was just a list for the pure term Hessian then we could not
discuss any other German soldier.

Again your wonderful explanitions, help even non historians, non purist and
non generalist ... like me!

I have no dificulity with learning from a purist or a generalist.. I'm sure
each has some information that all of us can learn from.

Sorry I wrote it in such a way that you thought it included you as in
"OUR"....
