Not to dump on the views expressed by the various correspondents, but I
remember the last flame war (about hexadecimal, in which I inadvisably
participated), and my mailbox is already overflowing with legitimate stuff.

May I request that the participants discuss on the merits, directly with
each other and not to the list? (Discussions *in Lojban* of course will be
welcome as examples of Lojban text.)
