Google's browser of news might allow it in a pinch, but at this stage of human evolution, I do not think Usenet is the way to go, and it certainly won't allow the kind of control I envisage (this needs to be housed at lojban,org.) The request for a discussion forum interface stands. -- Dr Nick Nicholas, nickn@unimelb.edu.au French/Italian, http://www.opoudjis.net University of Melbourne "There is a danger, my dear Neophron, that they will go further, and conceive a contempt for the stress-accent as something very trivial, and will decree that any group of words of any kind is a verse." --- Maximos Planudes, predicting free verse and worse, late xiii AD.
