Hi Everybody Since the lethargy of the summer has arrived, and there are no other pressing issues, I want to throw open a question to the group. In a manner of...
Hi, I would suggest we do two things: (1) refrain from naming letters other than the way they are named in the Unicode standard (2) refrain from adding letters...
Hey Everyone! How would you like a computer program to convert roman text to Shavian? I am currently working on that right now, as a matter of fact. There...

Scott I think we need to go for the private list option as this spamming, although hardly a barrage at present, is going to drive people nuts and probably away...

Star I can never tell if you're being serious or not ;-P It's not the volume of postings that's the problem, obviously (although it's an increase on before...
for once, hugh, I actually was being serious. We have no way to fight spam on this list, and there has been a signifigant increase since I've been a member...
Hi Scott First, I don't want to add letters at this point. I am trying to make the Shavian Alphabet more accessable, by giving the letters names that are more...
Any program you write would have to use a dictionary or a list of exceptions, at the very least. I do have a set of rules that I use to make make Shavian...
... Hugh, I think you have a valid point there. If you have an alternative mail list server which is as effective as what we are using, then it might be the...

The problem may not be bad now, but it will get there. I suggest, everyone, get ready to move. There's no avoiding it, the spammers are probably circling us...

I seldom open attachments unless i am in Dire need of the information. Attachments are the preferred way to send viruses. Haven't you noticed. That stuff isn't...
Hey Everyone, I got my hands on a newspaper from 1965 written in Shavian. Kingsley Read, the publisher, gave the following letter names: (he did not use the...
