Riiight; with the insanely large volume of lojban-only text you
post to this list or speak on irc, this is completely understandable.

Very little of my Lojban makes it to the list, true (I tend to try to get it right as best I can before I send it out -- against the usual habit -- and I am an inveterate tinkerer). But in even that little bit, the lujvo list was no help at all. In the bigger set, the problems multipy proportionately.

Making your own lujvo is really not a good idea since we have no
central, easily maleable lujvo dictionary in use yet (ku'i.ui ca'o
farvi gau la djeiz.)

And if no one makes their own lujvo, we will never need one -- a possible solution to a whole slew of problems.

So essentially, your claim about "long tradition foo blah blah" is just
a matter of you ignoring the only thing that even slightly resembles the
lujvo dictionary talked about in CLL. I think I'm done reading your posts
in this thread.

You, being new at all this, forget -- or maybe did not ever know -- that there are three editions of The Loglan Dictionary, several hundred pages of dictironary from 1962 to 1990-something. That is a long tradition in Loglan terms (it only goes back to 1955, after all). Now, you may say that Loglan is not Lojban, but, in fact, that goes against the stance of LLG -- on all matters except details of gismu and the grammar -- and the clear evidence of both history and observation. The Dictionary is what CLL calls us to emulate, so is not irrelevant in any case.
MY point was just that the lujvo list, whatever its claims, is pretty clearly not a reliable source for what lujvo have been used nor are needed for use.

Of course not -- what's the point of being a logician if you don't know how to use the illogical tools as well. What is the range of the things you discuss (in Lojban, mind you) completely (I assume this is hyperbole).
