There is also an inactive group called Loccan3 run by John Clifford that could also be purged and merged if he would agree to do so. Loccan3 is currently unmaintained and overrun by spammers, but as often happens on Yahoo Groups, I am reluctant to leave because of the outside chance that something constructive will happen there. If no one raises any objection, I would like to see all of these and any others I don't know about merged or invited to merge into Engelang, thus getting everyone in one place and blocking spam mailers. If the engelang crowd ever develops the need, it can always set up new lists as required later. --047d7b339c83ab138a04c7cb186c Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <head> <style type=3D"text/css"> <!-- /* start of attachment style */ .ygrp-photo-title{ clear: both; font-size: smaller; height: 15px; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; width: 75px; } div.ygrp-photo{ background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; height: 62px; width: 62px; } div.photo-title=20 a, div.photo-title a:active, div.photo-title a:hover, div.photo-title a:visited { text-decoration: none;=20 } div.attach-table div.attach-row { clear: both; } div.attach-table div.attach-row div { float: left; /* margin: 2px;*/ } p { clear: both; padding: 15px 0 3px 0; overflow: hidden; } div.ygrp-file { width: 30px; valign: middle; } div.attach-table div.attach-row div div a { text-decoration: none; } div.attach-table div.attach-row div div span { font-weight: normal; } div.ygrp-file-title { font-weight: bold; } /* end of attachment style */ --> </style> </head> <html> <head> <style type=3D"text/css"> <!-- #ygrp-mkp { border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-family: Arial; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0 10px; } #ygrp-mkp hr { border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; } #ygrp-mkp #hd { color: #628c2a; font-size: 85%; font-weight: 700; line-height: 122%; margin: 10px 0; } #ygrp-mkp #ads { margin-bottom: 10px; } #ygrp-mkp .ad { padding: 0 0; } #ygrp-mkp .ad p { margin: 0; } #ygrp-mkp .ad a { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: none; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div class=3D"gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 11:40 AM, John Cowan <sp= an dir=3D"ltr"><<a href=3D"mailto:[email protected]" target=3D"_blank">cowa= [email protected]</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style= =3D"margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <u></u> <div style> <span>=C2=A0</span> <div> <div> <div> =20=20=20=20=20=20 =20=20=20=20=20=20 <p>And Rosta scripsit:</p><div class=3D"im"><br> <br> > Can I propose Engelang, then, as the locus of discussion?
