Sender: Lojban list To: Veijo Vilva Reply-to: Paul O Bartlett Message-id: <01HV92KZQUQE0004RH@FIPORT.FUNET.FI> Organization: Express Access Private Account Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-To: Lojban List MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 764 Lines: 18 A couple of months ago I lurked on the Lojban List for a while and have just re-subscribed. I am a neighbor of lojbab, and I hope to make his acquaintance in the near future. Of course, this is an old question, so if you prefer please feel free to respond by email rather than filling up others' mailboxes. Why lojban? Why be interested in lojban at all? Is it more than a plaything? Does anyone have any intention of it ever being a practical international auxiliary language? Regards, Paul -------------------------------------------------- Paul O.
