I certainly don't mind someone setting up a UK-centric Lojban site. We already had a Russian site for a good while (not sure if it still exists). I do want to note that I got something in the mail this past week from a random third party offering us the chance to renew our lojban.org domain at a "Special Low Price". Apparently it expires around the end of the year (December? I think it said). I rather suspect that Robin knows of ways to get the domain renewed at the same or a lower price, so I am using this posting as a reminder to him to check into whatever needs to be done. lojbab PS I have survived what I hope to be my last surgery (for a while), and maybe my health will improve enough for me to be more focused on my various small Lojban tasks that have been backed up. (Nora has eye surgery next month for a cataract, so we aren't entirely out of the stress zone yet).
