I just spent about 45 minutes trying to read this reply and have a page of
notes on it.  It's beyond me.  If, as it seems, it was addressed to me, I
should stress that I am not a lojban student at present.  I'm interested in
lojban as "a thing I know about," but (currently) not "a thing that I know."
I'm here merely to get enough information to write a short story which, if I
am lucky, will net me $180-$240.  Even not counting lojban research (which I
don't count because a lot of that research was just wandering through the
references and dictionary for entertainment) has been probably about 14
hours), I've spent about 30 hours on it already, and I estimate that it will
take me another 10-20 before I can try to sell it, 1-10 hours to sell it,
and another 1-30 hours once I get a buyer.  I'm interested in comments on my
story and central concepts, but not enough to learn a new language to hear
them.  Translate that into English--or German or Spanish--and I'd be glad to
hear it.
