I agree that there are times when you have to stop and say "good enough". I counter that there are times where old issues can and should be revisited for the purposes of "better". It's the only way to get innovation on top of innovation. It's the only way to stand on the shoulders of giants. Do you think this is the wrong time to revisit this issue? You may well be right, and you probably know better than me. What makes this a wrong time? When would a right time be? mi'e .xius. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
