You were given your chance to speak. You didn't. And _now_ you come back and bitch at those of us who went ahead an actually did some work on getting some real lojban translation done?! I agree that Alice isn't a good choice. If I had thought of Oz first I would have done it. But you didn't speak up when it was appropriate, and I'm more than a little annoyed at your armchair-generalship now. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le nu zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/
