I've actually wondered this from time to time myself. Is not the purpose of a mailing list to join in the conversations? Hmm, perhaps they're just shy?

It would be great to see all of you lurker's conlangs too. ________________________________________________ The rattan basket criticizes the palm leaf basket, still both are full of holes.
