        Don't forget also the not so rare people who have a good Real Life but
still like to read tons of e-mail. For me, my Real Life is certainly
very valuable and absolutely not just a distraction from conlanging.
It's my Work Life which is often boring :) . It's a little like writers:
some are nearly monks who seem to have no social life, whereas others
are "in the world" as they just have a normal social life like anyone
else. And that doesn't mean that one is better than the other...
