| Is it time for the sesquennnial plan to split the list into several or to
label each message with a code about what kinds to topics are to be dealt with? I don't expect it to work a lot better than in the past, for, despite frequent claims to the contrary, all these things tend to work together: theoretical points tend toa rise out of practical problems and return to them for support and testing. And even the most remote issues seem to come back around to problems with Lojban text -- creation or interpretation. If it is weird, skip it for a while, but keep an eye on it for solutions to problems -- or, at least, discussion of problems you may have. If you ask a question and the answer seems to wander off, stick with it-- it will come back again, even if only to say that the hot shots are as confused as you are about how to do it. And that means that your solution may well be the best one -- yet, anyhow. |
