Thanks!  I already know about Luca (ciao, e grazie per il benvenuto!).
There used to be a few other Italian conlangers on this list, but I
fear they're no longer subscribed.  Maurizio, Claudio, Piermaria, are
you still out there?

Please, don't even mention time! ;-)  Once upon a time I thought that
having many open projects could help me take full advantage of the
ebb and tide of my creative vein, but it looks like I either have no
idea at all or many ideas for all of my languages at once... :-(

Oh, that's good news!  I thought nobody ever noticed my site (had a
counter there which never went above 25...) -- but it's true it was
pathologically underdeveloped...  As to the URL, it's good you lost
it, since I'm seeking for a different arrangement.

Won't wince if you won't wince too! :-)  If you're curious about
Urusei Yatsura, you can have a look at <http://www.tomobiki.com/>.
