!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There has been a lot of discussion of the "real purposes" of this net which I would like to answer. When I originally proposed this net, what I proposed and what people voted for was a net to discuss not only language but culture, history, archaeology, religion (i.e. pre-christian worship of the sun and nature), current events, music and just about anything relating to the Celtic people. I suggested that this net should be called "net.celts". This was what everyone voted for and asked for. But when I applied to have the net created, I was told that, for administrative and structural purposes, the net would be called net.nlang.celts. I said "But we intend to do much more than discuss language...", and I gave them my laundry list. I was assured that this was all allowable under the designation of net.nlang.celts. So, what we got was a net with all the attributes on net.celts which was called net.nlang.celts. I hope this answers all the questions and complaints on this subject.
