Wow. Tha's a one-in-a-million, friend! [Er, perhaps a "one-in-508" is closer to the mark! ;)] In any event, what you do is a rare thing. So, has tha met any conlangers in all these conversations? Any startled looks followed by a quick, blushing denial? ;))) If any one of has, statistically speaking, it'd be you.
