This question is for Cyril as well as all the list members. There are so
many of us at the moment that I couldn't possibly contact you all off-list.

Ms Magdalena Julkowska, a student of mine at Poznan University, is currently
writing her MA thesis on "Emailese" English. She's collecting a corpus of
data reflecting different Internet genres and styles. Would you agree, for
the sake of the advancement of science, to let her select a number of last
year's Cybalist postings as a sample of the Egroup dialect of Emailese? If
nobody objects, let me interpret silence as mute consent.
