Hi, I haven't been around for a while. What's new with everyone? (Anyone want to come back to Antimoon? The more real posters there are, the fewer trolls there'll be.) _________________ L'homme est comme Dieu l'a fait et un peu pire/ L'homme est le seul animal qui détruit pour le plaisir
I'm here, too, apparently...I'm just telling André (who has really vicious ways of nagging forum members - now I'm starting to fear you, André ) that currently I'm not being lazy at all...quite the contrary. If I was lazy, I would certainly participate in these wonderfully intriguing discussions, just to maintain the facade of 'not laziness' (unlaziness? dislaziness? antilaziness? or whatever). Unfortunately, I do have a good reason to not post here or anywhere else at the moment...or more precisely, several good reasons...called exams. I hate them more than anything, believe me...I'd rather post here. _________________ Az alvástól megéhezem. Az evéstől elálmosodom. Az élet szép.
I didn't know Antimoon. But I'm so curious that I checked which kind of site it is. It sounds to me like propaganda what they write there. _________________ Jag tänker alltså finns jag

Um... uh... hmm... I'll have to give it some thought.
Who moderates the "International" languages section? There's a lot of rude and inane posts that have been there for months and nobody seems to give a darn about removing them. What gives?

I moderate both, and supposedly Brennus and mjd do as well. The trolls lulled me into a false sense of security by staying away for a couple weeks, but they've come back and I still haven't cleared out the whole backlog. _________________ L'homme est comme Dieu l'a fait et un peu pire/ L'homme est le seul animal qui détruit pour le plaisir

I commend you for your moderating work, but why is that when I see your name, I picture a little dutch boy with his finger in the dike?
lol, it feels like that sometimes. _________________ L'homme est comme Dieu l'a fait et un peu pire/ L'homme est le seul animal qui détruit pour le plaisir

Have you been posting on any other sites?
An actual living, breathing, human being! Whew!
Every once in awhile I do, but they're usually not language sites. I periodically check what's happening at Antimoon, but since I'm neither a linguist, grammarian, student or teacher of languages, I feel that I don't have much to contribute to that site. I checked out Unilang, but the sheer expansive of that site intimidates me! I did notice that our long lost friend Kirk has reappeared there. Good to know he's okay.
Sorry about my long absence, the last month or so has been hectic!
Anyway, I'm moving again! Having established our new office in Kuruman, I'm now moving to Upington to establish a new office for the newspaper there.
I'm rather excited, it's a pretty town, and larger than Kuruman.
The town is some 150km from the Namibian border, and about the same distance to one of our major tourism attractions, the Augrabies Waterfalls (the sixth largest in the world).

That IS a pretty little town! And some impressive falls, there.
And (sniff!) don't leave us like that again!
I post on one other site besides Antimonn, called Perspectives. Tons of people there, half of them completely rabid, as much of it is political. It took me a long time to get into it, after being used to such a different atmosphere here! _________________ An apple a day....
It's also one of the hottest areas in the country, but I'll just have to brace myself for that... But it's beautiful, situated right on the banks of the Orange River. So while the area is actually part of the Kalahari, it's very green and in fact known as the Green Kalahari. I will get to know a region where I've only been a few times. The area certainly is more beautiful than where I am now. It's a raisin and wine producing region. Also, Namaqualand, known for its flowers, is close by. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

How wonderful for you! I hope you have a great time in such a pretty town. When you get there, would you be a dear and send me a crate of Oranjerivier wines? My supply is running a little low.
