Dear Linguists,

As most of you know, in addition to the main list, LINGUIST also
provides a very valuable free service for future and/or non-linguists.
This service, ASK-A-LINGUIST, is staffed by a panel of professional
linguists who share their time and expertise with those interested in
receiving information about questions related to linguistics and
language.

For the ease of its users, ASK-A-LINGUIST is constructed quite like
the LINGUIST discussion list in which the questions and responses are
organized and archived by thread. By addressing queries that are
non-academtic, but nonetheless relevant to linguistics and language,
we feel that ASK-A-LINGUIST provides the public with a very direct,
thorough, and "user friendly" source of linguistic information.

We are currently in the process of enhancing the ASK-A-LINGUIST
facility. Our panel of experts has recently been updated and now
consists of 60 members; 34 new names will be added to the list of 26
who have graciously volunteered to remain on the panel. Links will be
added to their names in order for viewers to directly connect to the
panels' personal web pages. We intend to continue improving the
ASK-A-LINGUIST service by creating a FAQ file of frequently asked
questions.
	
We would like to thank the ASK-A-LINGUIST panel members as well as the
LINGUIST subscribers for the continued support, contributions, and
suggestions that enable us to improve and maintain this beneficial
resource. And although ASK-A-LINGUIST is provided as a free service
staffed by a generous panel of experts who volunteer their time and
expertise, we still need our staff of editors to update, improve, and
expand this usefull facility. Without the continued financial support
of the linguistic community, LINGUIST would be unable to offer the
ASK-A-LINGUIST service, which is so valuable to both the general public
and blooming young linguists alike.
	
This is the ninth day of the LINGUIST Year 2000 Fund Drive. We have
graciously received $30,092. In order to reach our goal of $35,000, we
still need $4,908. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to
those who have already sent in a donation. The names of the LINGUIST
contributors are listed at the bottom of this page.

In apreciation of your continued support, we would like to send a
T-shirt or sweatshirt to those who contribute $30 or more.
Please see our Fund Drive page for styles, sizes, prices, and photos:
http://linguistlist.org/funddrive.html

You can also hit "Reply" to send us your pledge by email, prior to
sending your check. We will then be able to list you immediately as
one of our donors; and we will be able to reach our goal a bit
earlier.  Please remember to include your snail-mail address, along
with your size preference, if you would like to receive a LINGUIST
shirt with your donation.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support of LINGUIST.

With many thanks for your generous support,

The Linguist crew: Anthony, Helen, Andrew, Karen, Scott, Jody, Lydia,
                   James, Naomi, John, Sudhi, Qian, Ljuba.
