Yours is an interesting note in that it made me think of who the
participants really are on this list. I think it was *perhaps* designed
for what you term "educated and academic people," but as is plainly clear.
Many have probably come on board because a friend told them about it.
Plus, they are actually interested in Nahuatl. Marvelous. Some have other
agendas in participating as is clear from certain messages. But I think
the sort of stuff that has been recently bounced around is actually quite
expected if one thinks about the diversity of the membership.
