I am not aware of doing anything that I didn't explicitely volunteer for (i.e. I also am doing things I've chosen to do). Allow me to respectfully suggest that as you don't appear on IRC or involve yourself with the Wiki, you probably have very little idea of how many people are out there currently that are capable of doing assignments. Furthermore, I am not aware of you, or any other LLG person, *EVER* posting to the lojban list saying, "Hey, we need foo done", for some foo that involves less than, say, 40 hours of work. Given that, I honestly don't think that you have any basis to comment on the presence of volunteers who will do what they say they will do. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le nu zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/
