(or is there such a forum already?) as the group of lojbanists gets bigger and bigger, the discussions in the mailing list seem to flood private mailboxes (at least my own one). newsreader programs are much better in handling growing forums like this one, e.g. by giving the possibility to organize discussion via splitting it up into several related newsgroups concerning different subjects like organization, practical language questions, theoretical discussions, etc. did you discuss this possibility already? bye, klaus -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Klaus Birken | RUS, University of Stuttgart | | Allmandring 30 | mail : birken@rus.uni-stuttgart.de | | D-70550 Stuttgart | voice : (0049)-(0)-711-685-5812 | | Germany | fax : (0049)-(0)-711-6788363 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
