"If you like David Bowie, you're a conlanger.  If you have a friend who
likes David Bowie, you're a conlanger.  If you know someone who has a
friend who likes David Bowie, you're a conlanger."

Interesting presumption . . . there must be a lot more conlangers out
there, then.

Or perhaps you meant it the other way: "If you're a conlanger, you're gay
. . ."

ObE-mail: On my other mailing list we've been discussing David Bowie, too,
which just weirds me out.  I thought I had my lists confused for a moment
