Let me make myself more clear:

If you search google on 'lojban', the first hit that comes up for a
loglan site is around #60 or so.  And it's not much of a loglan site.
Essentially, loglan doesn't come up at all.

If you search google on 'loglan' the *thirteeth* *hit* is a page that is
actually *on* the lojban.org site.

This is because google uses a search strategy based on finding
'official' sites for topics.  This is largely based on how many places
link to a site.

This means that if major lojban sites started putting 'loglan' in their
meta tags, it could very easily be the case that *most* of the google
hits for loglan would be lojban sites, because we're linked to so much
more often.

I am not interested in a situation like that.

Again, if the board wants to over-rule me, that's fine, but I disagree
with you, and you are being rude about it.  Please stop, because I'm no
longer interested in what you have to say.
