Thank you very much. My interests in auxlangs or conlangs don't go much beyound phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, etc, so you won't have to fear anything like that coming from me. If you'd take a look at what I've written on auxlang in the archives (please don't - auxlang archives aren't nice to go through ;)), you'd see very little politics, propagation, or fanaticism. I see auxlangs just as conlangs, where the setting I give for myself is a hypothetical Earth 2000-something where an IAL has been adopted; what should that IAL be like?
