oh yes! (although it was an introductory shock to see my accumulated
mailbox; with ~400 mail since June go up to ~700 in a few days :-)

Interesting -- though the mean part of me nags me to critisize it for lack
of imagination, multitude of stereotypes, lack of real-world connection
(they _did_ seem to claim to be 'descendants' of today so to speak)  etc.
etc.

Quite so! The ppl at OA have almost in unison concluded that they don't
understand too much of my linguist jargon, but that they still want
everything as authentic as they can get it -- in other words, my only
restraints on the languages I develop is that I should be able to justify
them in one way or the other. Rather contrary to the Horiont-attitude :-)
