Oh. I guess I misunderstood the purpose of this group. I think LFN is a
fine _language_. Because it is simpler than most of the other Romance
IAL's, I like it better than most. But I don't think it is anything like
a _pidgin_, which is what I want.

Those of us who do not already speak a Latin-based language have a very
difficult time with all the inflections and rules. I think if we could
create a dramatically simplified version of LFN, it would be very
powerful. I now understand that my goals were different from yours.

So I'll sit quietly for a bit, and see where the group discussion goes.
