Well, anyone is welcome to participate and I
would have thought that anyone who was concerned
about the language would want to, since the
subject, {lo}, is one of the most pervasive in
the language.  If the level of indifference to
that is so great, I can't help wonder what kind
of future the project has.  But, if the person in
chanrge thinks that {lo} is irrelevant, I suppose
the future is not very promising altogether
anyhow.
