I would love to join in, I really would, but with thousands of words in the 
exchange, references to "Mr Mr Talk", comments about earlier material no 
longer being accesialbe, and the whole thing having the decided air of 
bickering about it, I don't know where to start.

For someone who basically left the lojban project 8 years or more ago because 
of this type of bickering, would you care to point me to a clear exposition 
aimed at non-linguists of the issues?

Fer reference, I reemmber that the problem centred on "le" meaning "the thing 
I choose to describe as" and "lo" originally meaning"the thing that really 
is"  The problem is then one of the philosophical issues of knowledge and 
"being".

Any advance on that?  What is "xorlo"?
