  Actually, you won't find any output from me before 2005, so I'm not sure
how you are gathering those stats.  I only found lojban then, while
searching the internet for whatever happened to Loglan, which I had learned
in the mid 1970s..

  For me personally, my first contacts on irc were extremely negative.
 Other than a very few people such as clsn and Adam Lopresto, I found the
folks inhabiting it at the time very condescending, rude and dismissive.
 Almost chucked lojban altogether.  Stayed off irc for about six months
after that.  Stuck more the beginner's mailing list, where I found people
like xorxes very willing to help newbies.

  I changed jobs in 2007, no longer working from home,  so no longer had
the time that I had previously to be active in lojbanistan.

  Now e-mail hell is hitting me hard (I'm actually only up to reading June
19 email, but made an exception for this thread :-)
