The history of Esperanto vs. Ido, while interesting, is relevant to almost nobody. The context for that statement is that I am interested in the relationship between Lojban and the outside world, and not that between Lojban and the IAL community. Bob promised the sanctity of baseline Lojban, and I refuse to learn even a single cmavo beyond it! Lojban is Loglan. It would be wonderful if the good minds from TLI joined us and applied their years of wisdom to helping us grapple with the advanced topics we have been discussing, such as the subjunctive, etc. ----- When they took the fourth amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs. When they took the sixth amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent. When they took the second amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun. Now they've taken the first amendment, and I can say nothing about it.
