I find it useful at this point to put it on the record that things are happening in Talossa - or, rather, are being prepared. I have no interest in letting the Opposition or the broader public believe that this is yet another "do-nothing" Government.
The Government is putting together a strictly voluntary survey of all Talossans on levels of activity, whether they've risen or fallen, and if they've fallen, what was the cause of that fall and what could be done to attract them back.
We acknowledge lack of activity as the biggest threat to national security. However, political entrepreneurs have been known to try to take advantage of this by promoting their own pet issue as the "why". The plural of anecdote is not data; and this Government is serious about finding out through real, anonymised survey results what less-active Talossans (assuming they care enough to even answer) think.
Let us also note, in closing, that "activity" is not the only thing we want in Talossa. Those who wax nostalgic about the amount of Talossan-language activity in the Kingdom of 10 years ago might pause to reflect that one of the main language-nerds of those days is currently serving a long prison sentence.

Is there an implied correlation there? ;-)

Yeah, reading that I was left to wonder if there was an option C, where we were able to revitalize the language without committing felonies.

This is a very good idea for a survey, S:da Schivâ! I hope it succeeds.

Good to see you here, Kane. Btw, I strongly suggest visiting the immigration forum. There is a certain someone applying for readmission who you will find very interesting.

Back to the home, Grandpa We’re the same age!! Youngsters!
You remember the invention of the Internet: I, however, remember the invention of modems! I'm not quite old enough to remember the invention of computers, but very, very nearly. Anyway - and more importantly - welcome!

I used to use Windows 3.1. Not that I'm old, I just like old stuff.
