Re: ADMIN: change default Conlang reply?

John,
I'm not sure how long you plan to run the poll. I don't think I'm in the
Yahoo group anymore. I haven't been able to access my mail server for 30+
hours (also Yahoo mail and mygroups), so I can't really check things out.
Until I can, I favor no change. In other words, keep the poll open for at
least a week or so.
