Re: introduction Middelsprake

Thanks, Ingmar.
BTW
Incidentally I am enjoying the file you sent yesterday.

Hello, ConLang.  Ingmar mailed the below to me.  I am forwarding it.  (My remarks follow.)

I'm new here, I didn't know that.
If you still have room, Tom, you may send it through to the list... only if
you like, of course
Otherwise I'll send it tomorrow (after midnight)

wordspil ("wordgame", "wordplay") = pun:
ig föle mi rasend, ig wil krüsse worde mid di = I feel myself angry, I want
to cross words with you = argue
in stead of , just one S less ;-)

"krüsse" is a verb here

META:-- FIVE-POSTS-A-DAY-LIMIT
Because of that five-a-day limit, sometimes I don't reply; and, sometimes, I reply
directly to the person who posted, instead of to the list.
Henrik says he is considering relaxing or eliminating the five-posts-a-day-limit. I
think, if his software were up to it, a sensible limit would be something like
one-or-two replies per thread or per thread/contributor combination per two- or
four- or eight-hours.
I could be wrong but I think that could limit everyone but the thread initiator
to five-ish posts per thread per day, and even the initiator could exceed the
limit only by replying to different other participants.
I haven't said so to Henrik.  I'm not certain his software is up to it.
Obviously a troll or twit could get around the limit by screwing with the subject
heading or by deliberately posting replies to the wrong thread; but we can
reasonably assume (a) no-one on this list-group is really that much of a twit
and (b) even if they were, Henrik would detect that and put a stop to it.
