Oldfield, Robinson, Bartolini, and Drozdzewski provided thoughtful and stimulating comments on my article "Keeping you posted ." My answer will first focus on naming specific periods of time, after which I focus on the impact that the designation 'post' has, and for how long, before moving to the question of new languages. Finally, I'll suggest that we should relinquish the optimism too often nested in a 'post' situation and rather concentrate on labors that convey hope.
