Dyke" X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=81437350 X-Yahoo-Profile: gregvdyke Hi I'd just like to point out that I abstained but do have full support for Nick and the BF (insofar as I would like to see a better definition of cmavo and several other things which it seems the bf may do). In the normal course of events, I expect nothing to happen from anything that LLG sets out to do (even though that is a bit unfair, as it has managed to do a lot of stuff), so I wouldn't think voting for or against anything would make the slightest bit of difference As there are some things in the statement which I disagree with (either as impracticable, ridiculous or downright not what I want) I've decided not to vote *for* the statement, just in case people actually do get things done, in which case I can put a sticker on my bumper "don't blame me, I abstained". I have no interest in the baseline, so my lojban will not be rigourously altered by any decisions of the bf or by it clearly saying foo in CLL. I do however like people to understand me when I say something in lojban, so I'll be sticking fairly close to what other people use. (but I won't avoid using something which people falsely claim to misconstrue) The BNF grammar is sacrosanct. I am against any revisions which seek to modify it. I either wants redoing as mark II or leaving as it is. I suggest that those cmavo in xvv might be used to exploit the preparser while experimental/post-199? cmavo be in cvvv. mu'o -- http://www.myepfl.ch/gregory.dyke e'osai ko sarji la lojban - www.lojban.org "That man is such an ignoramus, Father."
