Indeed I would.
Lojban is the latest implementation of Loglan, the constructed language
begun by James Cooke Brown in 1955, and worked on with varying communities
of co-workers since then. The Logical Language Group is the main supporter
of Lojban, and is in the process of writing a textbook. ("Lojban" is the
Lojban form of the English abbreviation "logical language", which is
"logji bangu" in Lojban.) LLG is not in any way connected with Brown
at the present time.
Do you remember where you saw this posting, or who it was by, or (best yet)
do you have a copy of it? I would like to respond directly to the poster
as well.
If you have further interest in Lojban, please write to
<lojban-request@thyrsus.snark.com>, which is an alias for me, and send
a postal mailing address as well. This will allow us to put you on both
postal and electronic mailing lists for Lojban information.
There are also about a dozen people in Vancouver on our list, so we
can put you in touch with them as well.
