Hey scarper,
Apologies to TJD, this is off the subject.

Mart, I am intrigued by your name. Would it happen to be of Estonian origin or Finnish?

Why I ask is that my name is Estonian. Until the day I was born my parents had intended to call me Ants. Pronounced Unts. However, Mart Luther a thousand years ago or so, was the founder of the Lutheran Church.

I happened to be born on the anniversary of his birthday. Consequently my name is Mart. (Thankyou Mart Luther). I can't imagine what teasing I may have been subjected to if it were otherwise.

Cheers Marty
