I tried adding this to the useful language links thread, but couldn't access it, even after clearing my cache. Anyway, tipped off by a glowing recommendation in languagehat's blog (thanks mav!), I have added a few pages on PIE to my list. The style is informative and readable, without being too dumbed down.

ah, I see. I mis-read your first post, thinking that you had found a new link to a PIE site... my bad.

Proto Indo-European http://www.geocities.com/caraculiambro/Indo-European.htmlThe Indo-European family (IE) is one of the largest; it comprises about 300–400 living members plus numerous dead languages known from written texts. (The numbers vary, mainly because different authors use different criteria for defining separate languages as opposed to dialects of the same language.) The reconstructible protolanguage of this family is known as Proto-Indo-European (PIE), and the hypothetical speech community that used it, the Indo-Europeans.one of Max's new links.

Ahhh - thanks. That fact was probably buried somewhere in the 13,900,000 Google hits that 'PIE' got. Not being able to narrow it any, I gave up after several pages. 'PIE language" brings up the correct reference on the second hit...

> the second hit...
Do you often find the second hit is sweeter than the first?

A cryptogram I deciphered last night: "When the price of duck feathers increases, then down will be up". (Thanks, Zed--I was hoping to find an excuse to post that!)
