     The message you are responding to is so old that I no longer have
it in my file.  (If nothing else, the email address it had changed in
March.)  Certainly those who wish my do as they wish.  My original
point had to do with whether any new constructed IALs have much chance
of success given what we already have.  I am skeptical.  I think that
LFN is a respectable product and have followed this list.  I even
composed an entire message recently in LFN.  But I do think that any
new highly latinate IAL has a steep uphill climb.
