Dear pyrotechnicians, see what flamewars cause?! More and
more people are leaving the list because they're fed up.
Dammit, there is no language or dialect superior to others
-- this remotely reminds me of fascism and its disgusting &
cruel results actually ... Bah! Shame on you! I won't say
anything more about this topic.

I only read the stuff I'm intersted in and don't participate
at flamewars in general. OBConlang: Recently, I've been
thinking about dialects of Ayeri which might lead to
daugther langs. I could think about this a bit more and add
what I think. Or I could finally think a bit more about the
maths of my concalendar I posted recently. Would that help
against flamewars? :P
