It is common for people new to the Lojban community to think of the LLG as having something to do with *community*. It doesn't, really; it's a business organization, and secondarily a language specification organization, and a community organization maybe a distant third. Bob told me the same thing when I first showed up, but I didn't really believe him until I started doing the book-keeping. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
