From lojbab Fri Jul 8 00:25:25 1994 Date: Fri, 8 Jul 1994 00:25:21 -0400 From: Logical Language Group Message-Id: <199407080425.AA11178@access2.digex.net> To: lojbab@access.digex.net, lojban@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu Subject: new subscribers - let us hear from you Status: RO In the last month and a half, the membership of Lojban List has grown some 50%, with several new people per week being added. I am presuming that most of you found out about Lojban from Veijo Vilva's WWW page, and hence you already know something about Lojban - thus I have not sent any electronic files to new subscribers as I used to do. If you have not read the introductory brochure, the Diagrammed Summary of Lojban Examples, the Lojban Minilesson, the essay on linguistics applications of Lojban, the essay on the dispute with The Loglan Institute, our order form, or the index of the ftp site materials, and would like any of these, please send me email. I also think that most of us on the list would like to hear from you, why you are interested in Lojban, and of course any questions you have. If you are interested in receiving our newsletter and/or printed copies of our introductory material, I need to have your snail-mail address. We ask $5 for US/Canada, $6 for other countries for the intro package, but thsi is a voluntary amount, and we send to all people who request the intro package whether or not you pay for it. Other materials are available per our order form, but for the most part require pre-payment, including subscriptions to our (nominally, but not yet actually) quarterly journal, "ju'i lobypli" (JL). The newsletter "le lojbo karni" (LK), ashortened version of the news-section of JL, with occasionally other texts generally comes out within a month of JL (though not this time, per my just- posted message on LK18/19) is also sent to anyone who requests a subscription, with a requested voluntary contribution of around $1.20-$1.50 per issue. I hope a large portion of you new peopl are interested in learning and using Lojban. My impression as the email addresses have gone by is that some 40% of of new list members are not from the US, and we especially value the insights of Lojbanists who are native speakers of non-English tongues (and we often learn a lot from non-American English natives, too!). Welcome to the Lojban community. Let us know what we can do for you! lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@access.digex.net Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 For information about the artificial language Loglan/Lojban, please provide a paper-mail address to me.
