Unfortunately I doubt the possibility of CONLANG-L e-mail verification
(unless there happens to be a place listing all list members). Perhaps
there's the need for a certain password or key-phrase? Perhaps even
required conlang trivia at sign up? Or of course... the required conlang
field! Still non-listmembers would be able to sign up, but non-conlangers
would be totally lost! ;)
