Well, you can still share with us some aspects of your conlang on the list, until you come up with a webpage.

Don't be afraid to ask. If there is one quality shared by all members of the list, it's the willingness to give information (and the willingness to learn which seems to come with it :) ). Even the better-learned members (which I've realized I'm getting part of now :)) ) do ask questions, besides giving answers :) . We don't have an initiation process on this list, so feel free to participate :)) .
