    Yep... I have found that ConLangers wanna meet more so than Auxlangers.
Even overcomin' whatever social anxieties to do so!!! Auxlangers tend to be a
lil less sure of themselves (I tried meeting with local Glosa & Interlingua
peeps, but they always made last minute excuses &/or change-of-plans, etc....
& one time I did meet with some Auxlangers, but they were these
Anarchist-Punk-Hippy Esperantoists from some Baja, Mexico commune & they
kinda freaked me out a bit as bein' a LIL bit on the cult-level... go
figger...)
