Which field? The feeling I get from Peter and Vaksje is that the Natlang field is intended for Natlangs you're comfortable with (if not fluent, at least capable of reading and writing in easily), presumably so that searching the natlang field for "finnish" will turn up people to help you with questions about finnish. Hmm. Many are using the free-text fields to provide additional information like: I've dabbled in gaelic, studied latin for 1.5 years (3 semesters), and studied spanish in high school. Etc. (None of those could I actually read without a lot of work with books in hand). I guess we've assumed that if your e-mail is visible, and you have a profile, that you don't mind being contacted by an individual? I'm not sure that's a good assumption. :) Iain
