I hope my metaphor wasn't too indirect.  I was not trying to be morbid; 
I was indicating a definitive end to (at least that segment of) the 
wheel-spinning.

Wow... my turn to be humble.  You give me great responsibility.  I 
didn't want it particularly to be a system of *my* choice, and certainly 
not immediately.  I am still learning new things, and want to see if I 
can learn more before I make a choice by myself (if it has to be by 
myself).  But more importantly, Lojban is a community effort, and should 
continue to be so (and indeed, IMHO cannot help but be so), so I was 
hoping for a system there could be a group consensus on.  Discussion has 
not gotten that far yet, though.  There has been excellent positive 
feedback, and constructive negative feedback, and other noise, but not 
nearly a consensus on a single symbol set yet.

Transcribe?  Wow.  I wouldn't transcribe at all - why bother? - just 
design a new computer font!

Good night, and have a rational tomorrow!
