Usenet, I haven't used that in years. I tend to avoid it honestly.

I still tell very few people about my secret, and I don't expect there to be
widespread acceptance of conlanging. Especially here in America with the
mentality that prevails nowadays (a steadily decreasing tolerance of
eccentricity, in other words.) Making up words is actually listed as a
symptom of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, as a matter of fact (a
phenomenon known as neologism).

Or it could be a symptom of being George W. Bush.
