Well, how do you think I felt when I wasn't given my professional
affiliation? All of this was material I gave to Brenda. What she did,
instead of airing my own comments, was to extrapolate what I
said and she got some things wrong. I told her in detail about the
Conlang Translation Relay games, started by you in your Starling
Song. Remember, Irina, this was boiled down from a half hour
interview to four minutes, a minute of that taken up by Carlson.
And too, this was a segment on me and Teonaht, Brenda told me.
She wanted to concentrate on Teonaht, and I wanted to mention
the list, which she agreeably kept in.
