And bravo to you, Sally! Your talk was the perfect way of starting off the
conference -- an insightful, witty, provacative, at times dramatic, and
ultimately profound commentary on the conlanging art -- from both historical
and contemporary perspectives. It really set the tone for the conference --
fun but meaningful. By the end of your talk, I felt more proud than ever to
be a practitioner of the Increasingly-Less-Secret Vice.

p.s. a post on the ZBB by one of our fellow attendees describes meeting you
as "kick-patootie." If that means what I think it does, I heartily agree! ;-)
