You know I just realized something: in English, that title of yours may seem awfully amibguous. With the word order you chose, "international" looks like it describes "language" and not "bulletin." You don't want that, unless you're aiming to make this bulletin solely about auxlangs. I'd say go with "International Bulletin of Language Construction," as someone suggested before. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
