It has been stayed pending appeal, but sets a precedent for now. So, Logical Language Group might be liable, which taxes all of us in one way or another. I rather resent the implication that I am a fink. (Is this another case of your thinking that my efforts to be helpful are covert attacks? See someone about paranoia.) << Asking "How is this correctly translated?"

It is unclear where the lines are (no, it is clear there are no lines but how far the fuzzy area extends). Less than a sentence is safely short, a whole chapter is clearly too long. And the purposes also vary the size of the grey -- translations seem to ahve more latitude than some things, less than critical studies. << Recall, by the way: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lojban/message/7489 >> Very true, but much has changed in the last year. Even Esperanto has apaprently pulled in its troops a bit (but they almost always asked anyhow, they say). To unsubscribe, send mail to lojban-unsubscribe@onelist.com Your use of Yahoo!
