It's hard to pay attention to people not on the net, because it's so hard to hear from them in the first place. I tend to assume that anybody sufficiently interested in Lojban would have got onto the net by now, but if there are a substantial number of people like Athelstan it would be good if someone who is on the net were in contact with them and willing to act as their spokesperson. --And.
