 I didn't ask anything. I just pointed it out that I was having a hard time
trying to follow the group.

  You made the suggestion on Sunday that some of us take our discussions to "Conculture":
      
 "By the way, I noticed that many threads had to do with culture creation. I'm
not sure about the rules for this group, but shouldn't this kind of stuff be on
the CONCULTURE mailing list?"

 This is asking some of us to ADD to our bandwidth by joining other groups, or
to compartmentalize our questions such that we can only talk about our Teonim
or Ebisedi on CONCULTURE, can only talk about Celtic languages on
CELTICONLANG... that's ridiculous. That's what I meant below about rigid
pigeon-holing. Look, Joao, very few of us can read everything on the list. I
delete with as much boisterousness as I respond. Another option is to go
nomail, and read the list from the archives.

 Now even I am afraid of myself. What an arrogant dictator-wannabe I must be,
trying to force imaginative, talkative, synaesthetic bunches of people to cope
with my personal wishes. Someone please kill me.

  Oh, PLEASE!    Let's kill this pouty, incurious thread, okay?   :)
