Jay and Robin took the proper approach. When I turned the web page over to him as webmaster , I gave him broad editorial discretion to modify the site. He has done so (and though he delegated it to Jay, he has taken the responsibility). Robin's done the job to my extreme satisfaction, and for that matter, to the extreme satisfaction of the members, per the motion passed at the last annual meeting: > * MOVED: To Commend Robin Powell for exceptional efforts in converting > the LLG site, and for exceeding expectations on presentation to public - PASSED I find it hard in the face of such commendation, to criticize either Jay or Robin for the work that they did. We likewise have had no complaints from TLI, and in fact have had increased cooperation with them since the site was turned over to Robin, and now Robin and Bob McIvor plan to work out a mutually agreeable set of references to each language on their respective home pages. I see no problem, and every reason to be satisfied. >I realize that perhaps >you (and others) don't really care about the history of Loglan But I do care. >and believe that my concerns about this issue are foolish. No, I believe that your words are counterproductive, in that, having gone beyond stating your concern, you are pushing the issue to the point where any of us that wish to respect the historical connection to Loglan will be perceived by others as being extremists, and the non-productive focus on the matter is unhelpful in encouraging greater cooperation between TLI and LLG. >I certainly agree that that Loglan is dead, It isn't dead.

It appears that you have not given up on TLI Loglan. lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
