Re: TECH: Testing again, no new on-topic content (was Re: "Language Creation" in your conlang)

Just a test, please ignore.

ObExplanation: I need to perform a test posting anyway, so I thought
I'd use a thread that's clearly marked TECH, since not many people are
likely to be reading it :). After all, if most people are anything like
me, they'll always read a message marked with just "test  - please ignore." :)

PS. I've been lurking for months, unable to post for mysterious reasons that
I haven't been interested in persuing. But maybe (after an hour or two of
fiddling with fetchmail and sendmail) I've got it right at last...
