Well, I obviously never ntoiced them. Perhaps I merely assumed that all your poistings in that timefram were part of a single ongoing conversation, since goran usually responded and no one else did. I have to admit that I seldom have time to translate when you write. YOu may not feel confortable with the rate of live speech, but at any rate less then than you ou tperform everyone else (except possibly Nick, who seems fully competent at any speed during IRC chats, but again I have not been wont to compare the two of you). >I also wrote two or three ckafybarja pieces, and I wrote several >poems (various sonnets, haiku, limmericks and free style) which you >didn't mention in your recent racconto of Lojban poetry, If you are referring to the article by Athelstan, that is because it predates your involvement by maybe 4 years or so %^). The only poetry I even have looked at since then was Helsem's "purple Lojban" which would undoubtedly throw And fits since he doesn't even follow grammatical rules much less logico-semantic ones, Veijo's haiku, and a poem that Colin Fine wrote. No wait. I remember your writing a poem once, buit I am not sure I ever tried to read it. I don;t remember any haiku except Veijos. And I am not sure I remember anything pertaining to the ckafybarja by you, but that could be just my fuzzy memory. Soemday I need to go through and finish extracting it all for the archives. 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 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: ftp.access.digex.net /pub/access/lojbab or see Lojban WWW Server: href="http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/" Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
