Apparently due to the lack of Tatari Faran posts. :-P

Yes, and I regret not sending the Jabberwocky post earlier. It could've saved the day... :-P [...]

[...] Does a LONG post on Jabberwocky in Tatari Faran qualify? :-P OK jokes aside... don't leave. We need to keep as many level-headed people as we can to prevent the list from degenerating to the fate of many other online forums: trolldom and flamebaitia. The delete button's been my friend for a while now. I hope it will never get to the point it's my only friend on CONLANG. T -- Two American lawyers went down to the beach for a swim. Seeing a canoe rental nearby, one asked the other, "Roe, or Wade?"
