Been there and back... out ::shudder:: tho' I did have fun causing
trouble between the Esperantists, the Interlinguists, the Glosa-types and
various other IAL dogmatics when I started getting burnt-out on IALs after
reading Richard Harrison's fine essay IIRC titled "Farewell to IALs" <A
HREF="http://www.invisiblelighthouse.com/langlab/">* Artificial Language Lab
</A> which has great ideas applicable to conlanging IMHO...
BTW, I called my trouble-making "lingua fracas" ;) My brand of
lingua-manglin' humour was not at all appreciated in UberAllesAuxlang-land :(
