Generally, I'd agree, but OTOH, I'd have to say that I'd be interested in reading it, and I have practically no lojban skills. (I'm working on it, but it's turning out to be a slow process.) So a book like this would be great, for me at least, since it's on an interesting subject, and would require me to expand my lojban knowledge while reading it. And, even better, it would give me a foundation for other technical writing, like mathematical formulas, scientific papers, etc. which I am bound to want to write someday (in lojban). Learn 2 skills at once! Perfect! I'm probably the exceptional oddball, though, that likes languages AND crypto. Perhaps there are more like me... :-) -- Aaron Unger -- Prejudice: A vagrant opinion without visible means of support. -- Ambrose Bierce --=-3keFDlfLG8n+qc0djH2v--
