    I did find the first few sections /very/ helpful, Myself.  Does Anyone have a copied of the wave pulled out for reposting on another site?

The shortness and rather abrupt cutoff of the wave lesson is a
personal failing of mine. While the community did a great job editing
and compiling that, I sort of stopped having time to teach and thus
generate the content that drove the wave. Trust me when I say that I
want to continue to work on it. I really believe in the methodology I
use to teach lojban and want to use a strong method to attract and
retain people. Since you did read it, aside from the cutoff and the
sort of roughness to it, did you find it reasonably useful?

Please stop by IRC, irc.freenode.net #lojban and come chat with us.
