That is actually normal for a group list… There are around 200 to 250 members on the SignWriting List now, from around 20 countries. Most members do not post often, but some members post all the time. Everyone is welcome to post messages in any language, and then we use Google Translate or other translate programs to understand all our messages - It is very interesting to learn about the way SignWriting is used around the world.
