Welcome to the list! Happy to see you here. Since I went nomail on 
Conculture, I missed some people from there, including you :) .

Hanuman, where are you?! As Master Creolist of the list, you ought to speak 
up here :)) . Mathias, you're also welcome to discuss :)) . Personally, I 
don't have enough knowledge of creoles to help here :(( .
