I have met and had lunch/dinner with a few conlangers, namely Sally Caves, Dirk Elzinga, Kenji Schwarz, David Durand, Dennis Moskowitz (did I get the last name right? you know, the Rikchik auteur), and Adam... Oh, god, Adam, I've forgotten your last name! Sorry... (*blushes*) Eric Christoperson is in a nearby, but we've never met. Otherwise, I'm pretty isolated myself. Not like our friends in Columbia, Argentina, and New Zealand, but still. It's amazing how spread out we are, when you think about it. How many countries are represented on this list? I can think of: the United States the UK Sweden Canada Columbia Argentina New Zealand Finland Norway Denmark the Netherlands France Italy Bulgaria Am I missing anybody? Any list members (posters or lurkers) from Germany, Spain, Russia, Japan, South Africa, Australia? Matt.
