But I thought you said that she asked, as part of her survey, why we made up
languages.  I didn't think she did; or at least I didn't get that part of
the survey.  Was this a discussion on Conlang that was a result of her
survey--before I awoke from my long conlang sleep? :)  My survey of 1998 or
1999 (I can't remember) was directed mostly at the psychology of conlanging.
