Bob LeChevalier uses the AMRAD BBS.  I will copy messages back and
forth between here and there.

The place structure of "samban" would have to be the same as that of
"bangu" (language).

> samymri  electronic-mail ... to ... from ... by carrier ...

Sounds good.

> samjulne  computer network for purpose ... using carrier ...

No, "julne" means a net like for catching fish or bugs.  Besides,
"samjulne" would have to have the same structure as "julne".

How about "samkarni" (computer type of journal).  The place structure
of "liste" (list) isn't quite right.

I will post the English of this message in two days.

My grammar is probably full of errors, as I'm new to Lojban.  Sorry.
