I want to clarify these sentences, since I'm not sure about the
construction. What I WANTED to say is this:

Hi Michael,
Now I understand your example. However, I don't understand the choice of the
"member but not reader" people. What do they study lojban for?
The fact that there are no female students of lojban is strange. I hope your
book is published through the internet.
Bye, Pablo.

(these questions are for all, not only Michael)

-How would you say "online"?
-I'm not sure about the order of the arguments on {prici'a} (intended lujbo
for "publish")
-If you find any big mistakes, could you tell me? In fact, I think this
would be good for all conversations in lojban: whenever someone finds a
mistake, he would tell the person in question.

Bye

By the way (ta'o), how do you translate the subjunctive in lojban? In the
present or in the future? For example, in the last sentece

i mi pacna le nu le do cukta BA prici'a fi la internet.

should I have written

i mi pacna le nu le do cukta prici'a fi la internet. ?

In spanish (as in many other languages) we have a special declension for
this case.
