Yes, I realize that.  And my use was mischievous (please note the '>') and
said in what I thought was a joking manner.  I apologize if you took this
comment more seriously than I intended; I was not implying that conlangers
are a bunch of sociopaths -- if I thought that there was anything seriously
amiss about conlanging, I would probably for my own sake steer clear of both
this list and conlangs in general!
