Probably my foult, after it originated on a posting on Hangkerim (my
conculture). But I have become aware of the differences of topics.
World-building seams to provide me (and any other conculturer) on the
technical stuff of making our conworlds more feasibel or credible... but
not for discussing the culture itself. I'm also subscribed to conculture
and I hope to post there some of the interesting details of the Hangkerim
culture: philosophy of life, religion, dairy life and all those thinks that
are not exactly conlang related.
