Ah. The long-standing convention of this list is that one may post in any language, natural or constructed, and nobody is allowed to complain. This is not an English-Only mailing list; it is merely that English postings reach the most people. So suggesting that we make Dutch (or Esperanto or Ygyde) the official language is nothing more than a jest, "ha ha only serious".

Almost certainly it came from another list, but I'm not sure which: probably Lojban or Jboske. I have always admired And's magnificent periods, and I thought getting one of them into my .sig file would be a Good Thing. -- All Gaul is divided into three parts: the part John Cowan that cooks with lard and goose fat, the part www.ccil.org/~cowan that cooks with olive oil, and the part that www.reutershealth.com cooks with butter. -- David Chessler jcowan@reutershealth.com
