Perhaps what's needed is a tshirt coordinator that can tell these
punks to get bent. Frankly I don't care _what_ languages get put on
the shirt - with the obvious prvision that Our Languages (i.e., from
Conlang) get priority. I'm sure that there are enough active languages
on list out there that both sides of a shirt could be easily filled.
If there's some room left; sure, put some "famous" conlangs on there.
Remember that whatever else Volapuik and Esperanto might be, they are
both conlangs. And if one or the other puts up a fuss the lot of em
can go boil their heads. Then dry them off with their new conlang
tshirt! :)
