But I wasn't complaining about your original question, it was Peter's
restricting the poll to a_priori langs (apart from D).

But D says:
"My conlang(s) have not even made it to the editing room yet."

Not: "At least one of my conlangs have not even made it to the editing room
yet."

Some of my youthful conlangs (now probably lost forever) got as far as the
editing room.

Thanks.

Or as And was interested in a_priori langs, and A to C are also
specifically related to a_priori langs, D could be reworded:
"D. No a_priori conlangs of mine have made it to the editing room yet."

Then I could opt for D   :)
