This language is uterly stupid. What is the point? Why crowd society with a new language which has absolutley no value. This is a waste of a perfectly good domain name. It is as bad as those Treky's speaking Klingon!

Thanks for sharing. I suppose that you consider spending your time
sending unsolicited flame mail to be 'uterly' intelligent?

Exploration of the possibilities of the human mind.

What is the point of your mail?

As opposed to crowding society with vehemence and anger directed at
people who are 'absolutley' doing you no harm? Gee, let me think.

And what would the domain name *mean* if the language didn't exist?

> It is as bad as those Treky's speaking Klingon!

Yeah, look at all the damage they are doing to right-thinking citizens!
Why, I heard one actually spoke Klingon at a *gasp* science fiction
convention!

Please don't waste my time again.
