I agree. My conlangs are all fairly simple too. I'm always bewildered by languages with complex verbal systems, 20 cases to the nouns ;), or complex morphological processes. I feel they all are interesting, even if i can't follow all that well. I think i've read most of all the conlang web pages out there. Even though I am hardly a linguist, I am proud of what I have accomplished, because I have something all my own. Sometimes I think my languages could be more complex to be more interesting (though, I did make the verbal system a bit more complex recently) , but i feel that as long as I like them, it doesn't really matter what anyone else feels. They really are for my edification, and even though they aren't as rich as Teonaht, for instance, I still like them for what they are, personal creations. ________________________________________________ It's worth the risk of burning, to have a second chance...
