Whew. I hope you all can understand that mess. Basically it's a general
"hello" message. Since I haven't picked (and may never pick) a handle,
I'll just use my name, "mark" (or possibly go against the welcome message
and use "marq", since it's such a small change).
I'm a language nut, especially constructed languages. I am co-manager of
the Planned Languages Server, a mail server which deals which such things.
Some of you may have heard of it. For info, send "help" to
"langserv@hebrew.cc.columbia.edu". You'll get our help file.
P.S. I use "Savan" instead of "nuqneH" because it seems to me that
"nuqneH" really doesn't make sense for someone initiating conversation, but
only as a response. I know it's an idiom, nonetheless it seems a little
weird to tap someone on the shoulder and ask "what do you want?" I prefer
using "van" (to salute?) instead. How does this swing with you experienced
folk?
P.P.S. HoD Qanqor, vIpImponglu'bogh jIH choSov :-)
