That puts the elided "toi" at the end, after "brode", doesn't it?

I've always found elided "toi" at end of text an odd concept, but Timo
has been using it very often on la .aidentikar. (identi.ca) and I've
gotten used to it and even used it a few times myself.  He often
writes "to bau la !lojban" (the ! makes it a group name) at the end
without a closing "toi".  I usually put the closing "toi" -- and
redundant parenthesis marks, like "(to bau la !lojban toi)" -- but
I've left it off a few times, especially when running out of
characters! :)
