Cool...I think. :)

I assumed it, which of course, is a dangerous thing (assuming).

I'm finding it harder as I get older. :). Either that, or I'm more fearless/less shy. :) Also, some lists I don't get involved because, well, then I'd be involved, and that'd have expectations with it (continued involvement). Conlang is one of the few lists I actually have some small amount of motivation to participate, although I often don't have anything to add. :)

Most of them were pretty cranky lists, and I've long since left them behind. :) ..and yes it is. :) I hope I didn't seem like I was dissing anyone on this list. Everyone here is (disturbingly?) friendly to newcomers. :)
