I was also misled by the name, I think. But if you put the name aside,
the apparent purpose of this group is not to create yet another
eurolanguage. It is merely to popularize LFN. And, from what I've seen
(not much, really), I like LFN better than Occ, LsF, Ia, Novial, and the
rest.

I think I now understand that the list moderator chose a non-LFN name
for the group because it is likely that the language will evolve
slightly during actual use. Evolving LFN itself would require George's
blessing, but evolving a language based on LFN would not.
