Hi Matt, and thanks!  I must hasten to add that my remark--again,
bows, stutters, blushes--was self-ironic (please note the "sob!"
after the no-appreciation line), wherein I was tweaking myself for
getting miffed when I was told that the messages were coming in
duplicates.  How can I possibly feel under-appreciated for the
conlang Relay Game when I had just gotten it up?  I post it, an
hour later, I'm complaining of no praises? <GGGGGGGGG>.  No,
to be honest, I was feeling under-appreciated at work, especially
the grueling, thankless work on the theater stuff, buying things
out of pocket for the party, etc., but I've gotten over it now.
Someone came in and said, good show, you'll have to do it in April.
That's what comes of REAL appreciation.  Whereas the next Conlang
Relay Game shall fall to someone else.  And that person will make it
more efficient.

I've got it started, but I also have several hurdles ahead of me.
The webpage will be much more accessible.  And believe me I understand
about long posts and not being able to read them.  This is dense stuff
were working with.

Cheers,

Sally
