That's the impression I also got the first time I came across a
mention of those languages :)
It took several more years, though, before I was reminded of them and
investigated them more closely, but I remember thinking "that looks
interesting, but if I decide to get involved with lost languages at
some point, it'd probably be better to go with Loglan than with the
renegade offshoot Lojban"; it was unclear to me how many
supporters/speakers each variant had.
