David, I'm also 16, and have been lurking here for a couple of months. This is my first post, since I have not yet ventured into making my own language and have had no need to post here until I have questions pertaining to conlanging. I got interested in conlanging after reading most of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and seeing Sindarin and the other toungues. After reading those books and learning of Esperanto (and then going and learning it) in my French class I knew conlanging was for me. But until I feel committed enough to sit down and start my own language, I'll remain in the shadows learning and preparing for my masterpiece! PS: Another reason I've not posted until now is a technicality involving offline-mail not working on my school's server, but hopefully that will soon be remedied. [JRH]
