LOL... (It's a real viscerally-palpable pleasure to have you back
among us!)

But we really should be congratulating Jorge for doing what so many
Lojbanists say is a prime motive for their interest in Lojban and a
prime hope for what Lojban will achieve: Jorge is whorfianly
exploiting the resources of Lojban to conceptualize things in a way
that we hitherto would not have thought of conceptualizing them.

As I mentioned in an earlier message, the me...me'o serendipity is a
bit of a redherring, because there is a nonserendipitous way of
getting sumti+MOI.
