It may please you to know that the Elfling mailing list, devoted to
Tolkien's languages, has received a flood of new participitants since
mid-december, all eager to learn Elvish. A few of them as even expressed
their wish to create their own language (and some may even be with us in
this moment, since I suggested that they join CONLANG).
