[lojban-beginners] Re: [please read] survey of lojbanists

coi doi greg.
I haven't responded earlier because my vocabularly is still too limited for comprehension of much communication. However, I have word lists, and scripts/batch files which enable me to scan the lists for words. I have several questions about your phrasing: 1) I don't understand your usage of 'jai'. The list I have says it converts a tense/modal place to first place. You used a demonstrative 'ti', not a tense or modal. 2) The 2nd place of 'mrilu' is the message. The 3rd place is the recipient. so wouldn't you want to say 
.i ko spuda mrilu fi mi po'o fau lenu do tcidu je jimpe ti
?
So, with help scanning the word-lists, I did understand you, but only with help.

Hi,
Continuing my crusade to find out how many lojbanists there actually are, I'm now sending this message.
A week or so ago, I sent a lojban-only message requesting those who read and understood it to answer me privately. Apparently those using yahoo had trouble getting my address, so please answer to epfl att lojban dott org.
For those of you who missed the lojban message, you can still tell me that you read and understood that message, which I've pasted at the bottom
Otherwise, I'm asking *everyone* who gets this message, even if they've never posted to the list, to answer. 

Thanks

Greg
