Fifteen to twenty responses? Well, I guess, but you can condense them
into four general catorgies:

1. Ambiguity is good.
2. You evidently don't know English, so stop preaching about its
problems.
3. You make no sense.
4. You're on the wrong list.

... or a combination of any number of these, but I've yet to see a
message that combines all four.

Let's be honest with ourselves. It's not that hard to guess which
category/ies a post in a conlang falls into, based on the context.

Anyroll, Adam, I'm completely behind your proposal. I haven't responded
to Su yet, but since I've always wanted to find out how to say "You make
no sense. Go subscribe to AUXLANG!" in Ajuk, I think I'll start now.

This'll be fun.
