A couple of my points apparently had merit and I am debating them directly with Lojbab (however most were just my loss of control over my fears that Lojban might deteriorate as a result of becoming more main stream - if the stream moves to appreciate us, great - if we move to be appreciated, horrors). One issue is such that I am asking for your help. Can any of you provide vocabulary lists from news papers or educational institutions? You know, the kind that I referred to in my flame. They would serve multiple functions, the least of which is to prove my argument about sizes. More important functions would use the content of those lists. thank you all, Art Arthur Protin These are my personal views and do not reflect those of my boss or this installation.
