May rmay@peakpeak.com I have to note that JCB himself rejected any such thing, saying it would not be the same project, though not discouraging Rex from undertaking his own separate project. I doubt that Dr. Brown would have felt honored (this is also not the first logical language effort proposed to be named for him - Jeff Prothero, more known in the conlang community for "planb", had an effort called "braun" that was based on mathematics. There of course is no interest on our part in reopening design issues, especially not in new directions. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-Earn 300 Points from MyPoints.com for trying @Backup Get automatic protection and access to your important computer files.
