I was going to continue in Lojban, but I simply can;t do that in real time
given my level of typos, rustiness of Lojban, and non-use of editors on
the net.  I made 3 errors before I had one line out, and gave up.

It will be a long while before I comfortable put Lojban text up on Lojban List
in Lojban given my inability to use a real editor (I refuse to use the
Unix stuff).  IRC presumes that there will be lots of garbles, but the
standard for email is a bit too high for me - or at least my standard is.

At any rate, it is permitted that LLG voting members, especially those out-of-
country who canot attend, are permitted and indeed encouraged to suggest
agenda items for the LogFest annual meeting, and to submit statements and/or
proxies regarding their views on those topics.  If internationalvoting
membership is going to meaningfully work, the international members have to
be more than token figureheads.  I will leave it to you and others to decide
what LLG issues are worthwhile being disucssed at LogFest, and to make your
own stands.  LLG annual meetings are the one place where I prove to myself
AND to the world that I am not a JCB-style autocrat %^).  Believe it or
not - I ENJOY being outvoted once in a while when the other members care
enough to do so.
