I must admit that I'm quite shocked at how popular Degaspegos
has become even when I make it difficult to learn by shutting
off access to the site!  In this case, though, I suspect that the
list of languages was rather long, and that the person creating the
list simply didn't know that Alurian and Degaspregos were conlangs.
