Five years ago, I read everything on the list, and I think so did most others. Nowadays, Cowan and I read only cursorily, and several subscribers have list traffic filter into a "to read someday" box. This is one of the perils of modern day mail software and too much spam - no one can afford to read everything they get. lojbab ---- lojbab ***NOTE NEW ADDRESS*** lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: see Lojban WWW Server: href=" http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/ " Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
