Hmm. So a person who found conlanging stupid decided to join a list called
"CONLANG", and to *promote* a conlang??

Oh yeah, I remember that guy. Was he actually an auxlanger? I didn't pay
any attention to him at all, after reading half of the first post he made.
I was under the impression that he was creating some convoluted psychotic
artlang that nobody but he would understand, and he was trying to sell his
book on the list (which, given the incomprehensibly opaque lines of
thought he appears to constantly engage in, I doubt anybody would actually
buy, auxlanger or not).

You mean the Land of Oz. Some of our beloved auxlang propagandists seem to
fit rather well with the description of the Wizard of Oz... now where is
that balloon?! :-P
