oh wow, yeah, it just occurred to me that this dicussion was happening in the lojban beginners list.  This seems like a discussion that would normally happen on the lojban list, not in the beginners list.  Just my opinion though

It's great that a number of newbies have progressed to the point that they
can communicate normally in lojban.  But I suggest that they then move
their discourse to a more advanced list.  We need to have an English-language
list to attract and keep the next generation of newbies.
