There were a couple us, at least, there once upon a time. But, like you,
we left  :)

The thing to do is not to take it seriously.  That was one of the problems
on Auxlang: they all seemed take their favored IALs way too seriously IMHO.

The experience was, however, salutary.  I regard my BrSc project very much
the same way as I regard a demanding crossword or Latin Prose Composition
when I was at school - it's an intellectual exercise.

Seen that way, it's an excellent antidote the stresses of so-called 'real
life' - it stops the mental/psych problems dead in their tracks!

Vivat Conlang  :)
