Apparently the relay you're subscribed through is editing out the domain names. This may be a big part of your problem. The proper mailing list for this address is CONLANG at LISTSERV dot BROWN dot EDU. Not yahoo. Not elists. Brown. The University. Go ye to the web page address yielded by replacing the "CONLANG at" part with "http://", then click on CONLANG, and you will get instructions as to how to subscribe for real, and where to send posts.
