Slight meaning drift here. *At present* I do not consider myself to be qualified. I hope that with some hard work I will move to the right on the fuzzy scale whose ends are kibbutzer and grandmaster lojbanistani. A published refgrammer would help me to achieve this goal :-) Also, my original statement and &'s above statement are not logically inconsistent. I could contribute to the progress of lojban design but not feel qualified to serve in an academy (at present). "That which rises, converges." -Steven Steven M.
