Re: Has anyone made a real conlang?

I'm not going to say anything about Andrew's post, nor anyone
else's for that matter. However, I think it's really interesting
to see how people on this list is reacting to such a post. It's
not the first time a post like this appears on this list and it
certainly isn't the last time.

Reading the replies to Andrew in this thread is very enlightening
as to conlanging in general, what drives us, what motivates us
as conlangers. What is conlanging? What is its inner spirit? How
do people on this list feel about conlanging? Why are we conlanging?
What is a conlang?

If one wanted to write an article about what conlanging really is,
this thread should be an excellent starting point. Almost as
enlightening as Sally's Lunatic Survey.

So instead of being angry with Andrew or getting all worked up,
try to see what good can come out of this. I think it gives us
a lot, and furthermore, I think it really is getting us all on
this list closer and even more devoted to our hobby.

Just my two öre.
