I hit google. I found both Lojban and Loglan. I initially
dismissed Lojban because it appeared to be a half-assed fork
from people who decided that they didn't like the way Loglan was
being run
That's the impression I also got the first time I came across a
mention of those languages :)

I, on the other hand:

- did a web search for "logical language" (this is around 1997 or
 so?)

- found both almost immediately

- asked Altivista what the difference was

- discovered that Loglan was under copyright

- laughed my ass off, and have ignored Loglan ever since
Hands up all those who found Lojban from slashdot.org?

/me raises hand.
