The quest for perfection is a futile one. What we have with Lojban now = is good. Granted, it could be better, but that will always be true. It was = true of "LoCCan1", it's true of "LoCCan2", and it will be true of "LoCCan34= 234234234". Starting over from scratch isn't the solution. Yes, you may be = able to make a new lojbau that doesn't have the problems you perceive in "L= oCCanN-1", but by making it, you create a new divide.

If we want jbogugde to exist, if we want people to speak our language- = whichever one we decide on- then what we need to do is not to make a new on= e whenever we see problems. We need to either find an acceptable solution /= within/ our language, or we need to /deal with it/.

French is the third largest language on the internet. How many people d= o you think would bother to learn French if every region had their own, mut= ually incompatible dialects? Would English be nearly as pervasive as it is = if British, Australian, South African, and U.S. English speakers couldn't u= nderstand each other?

To quote a rather famous saying, "Divided we fall, united we stand". I = view LoCCan3, and any other split, as the worst possible thing that could h= appen to us as a whole.
