LOL.

Strange, when I was at the Rempts once, they showed me a picture of you
quite different from this one :) . Maybe it's the hairdo difference which
gives me that impression :) .

How come? Do I look "maggelitous"? Or maybe it's because I've often
described myself to the list (maybe a little too much actually ;)))) ).

Indeed! :)

Hehe, as for me, the biggest surprise was John Cowan. I would never have
imagined him like that!!! :)) Special mention for Robert Wilson: great
hairdo! ;))) And another special mention to Christian Thalmann:
nice-looking guy! (and this way I've shown everyone what my taste in men is
;)) . Not that it means anything: my partner is physically the contrary to
my tastes, and yet I find him the most handsome man on Earth and in the
rest of the Universe :) ).

True, it's nice to have a way to put faces on words. I've always preferred
face-to-face conversations against phone calls for this very reason :) .

LOL.

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
