"CON"sulate General of "L"os "ANG"eles, it seems. Probably things
like "cla.com" were already taken.

Yes! I'll happily contribute the Thunder Rock language that I'm not
finishing anyway as a museum piece. I wish I still had the things I
wrote down when I was nine (the best thing in the British Museum,
IMO, is the little piece of paper that a five-year-old princess wrote
"VICTORIA" on in large shaky letters).

It should. And some way to reach them anyway even if they don't want
their street address broadcast to the world - a secure deposit of
addresses, only accessible to members, perhaps.

As I wrote privately, I volunteer to do layout (not scripts or
frames; I lack competence for the one and object to the other).
Producing good layout with minimal overhead is one of my favourite
challenges.

Any chance of e-mail addresses in the domain?
