So the syllogism is: "Some geocatchers are lojbanists,
                             and, All geocatchers are coin collectors,
                             so, Some coin collectors are lojbanists."

Perfect idea. I suggest we should just buy the 250, put nklb in charge
of deploying 62 of them in the field (that's one quarter of them in
return for his $200), and sell the remaining 188 of them for $5 each
plus shipping.

I would enjoy doing so.
