are equivalent, with the last being my preference for that particular bridi, and my first coming second.

Has done is not is doing.
My statement was in the present. I was not referring to past works. Others have already mentioned them.

I really wish I could figure this out. I think it's that Lojban just
isn't important enough, and many people find that life takes away the
free time they thought they had. Sadly, 'fake languages' rank below
soul-numbing MMOs and other nonproductive hobbies, which people have
little time for between work, friends, and a bitchy significant other.
Life is rough, and Lojban seems to be the first thing to get cut when
somebody is looking to create more free/spare time.
Ah, that explains why so many continuing jbopre are geeks, eh?
Thank you for your input and perspective on the situation.
Anytime. Thanks for listening rationally.
