Please, don't misunderstand my intentions: my message was not meant to be in any way offensive, nor was it to point to certain persons. Also didn't have in mind "your" anthem (or the motives out of which it was created), 'twas just to give a sketch of what I meant by klimbim etc. Since you mentioned pi,er's name: I like his thorough enthusiasm with the language and the really good and meticulous job promoting it (e.g. taxonomy). (The same goes for you too - Robin's and your lessons are to *invite* people interested in Lojban, rather than chase them away...) - .aulun.
