Would the "Whorf" theory have something to do with Klingon? Oh, wait, I know what you mean..... :) Seriously, I think something you're edging towards is very true and unique about conlanging -- it's NOT an established art form, so in a certain sense we are all our only real critics and standards. We as individuals and as a community. It's very unlike other art forms that way. Ed -- Ed Heil * edheil@mailandnews.com "When you get your Ph. D.
