JvS> Now be serious, Andrew. Are you saying that a language
JvS exists only as soon as it has made its entrance on the
JvS web? Not everybody has a computer, and even those who
JvS have one are not automatically able to create websites.

Those who do not have a computer cannot use this mailing list.
Making a web file and sending it to a website is a trivial task.
You can make a text file if you cannot make an HTML file.

I have a computer. I don't have a webpage. I know how to send and recieve email, but I don't know how to make a webpage, or send a textfile to a webpage. Besides that, I'm reluctant to show my material, because many things (grammar, phonolgy) are still 'floating' around. Besides that, my most lofty aim is not to make a webpage, but a book. I have the pens, the book itself (beautifully leatherbinded), only the language needs to flesh out a little more ... This little book gives me the highest pleasure. Does that mean that my conlang is no real conlang? I don't think so. BTW, anyone else who derives the same pleasure from merely writing down things in your conlag/conscript? Rob
