yeah, it's true that #lojban can be a lot of english. but the big 
difference here is one is IRC and one is a message board. you can 
have a lot more message boards than IRC channels because you don't 
have to be there to interact--this is why we can have two message 
boards and only one IRC channel. english is fine on the IRC channel 
because there's people just starting off...and our community is not 
big enough to support a strictly lojban only irc yet.
