   I will of course be sending feelers through the grapevine to find
   out whether TLI under Alex is more willing to work towards
   rapprochement.  I will be consulting with our Board as to their
   opinions on this, but I am of course interested in the opinions of
   all of you, whether you are members or not.  As I said a couple of
   weeks ago, our commitment to the Lojban baseline is absolute; the
   language you are learning will be the one that survives.  But what
   we can and should do with TLI remains to be seen.

I think we can all share these sentiments.  The baseline is secure;
the hard work the people on this list are doing to learn the language
will *not* be wasted.  But anything we can do to bring in and
cooperate with the talented people in the TLI is all to the good.
There is a lot of history here, but if it can be overcome, and a
single effort brought forth to the world, then we are *all* better
off.

   Onward to the future, whatever it may bring

I agree wholeheartedly.

As lojbab has said, lojban *is* Loglan!  Onward!
