A Real Conlang Milestone: Irina's page and the Conlang Relay

Irina, this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!  This is a real conlang
achievement, and all the more so because it brought eighteen
people together, and invited them to explore another person's
conlang.  Far from removing this kind of activity from the
conlang list, I think we should keep it right here where it
belongs.  Except for when people band together to help one
conlanger sort something out in his language, as people are
doing for Ed's Ciantwo, too often this list devolves into
a kind of As For My ConLang kind of announcement.  But the
RELAY translation got people involved with other people's creations.
Any linguistic list can keep conversations going about the
middle voice in ancient Greek or stative verbs... but only
on Conlang do we speak to each other in our invented languages.
Let's keep this game on the list and others like it.
Good show, everybody!  And our hats are off to Irina for
thinking of it!

Tsory poy nwetis firrimby!
