I really enjoyed your posts and what you were talking about
simplifying in a Europidgin-type-language. Maybe if you stick around
you could make your point and others might also think likewise.
Anyway, you can do as you like of course but I'd miss your messages
and your viewpoints which I feel were very pertinent to what was
being discussed here.
