     I never claimed that it (Interlingua) is, and I am not aware that
anyone else has made that claim, either.

     Which I am not.  It just happens that Interlingua is the conIAL
that I have used most.  That hardly makies me a "blind supporter."

     Nonsense.

     Rejected?  What does this even mean?  Who rejected and why?

     As nearly as I can tell, he actually tries to use multiple IALs.
However, having a favorite one and using it most often is hardly a
crime.

     He speaks for himself, of course, but I have never gotten this idea
from public posts he has made.

     Nonsense.  If I recognized any such "right" -- which I most
emphatically do not -- I would not be here.  I am willing to consider
other ideas.  However, at the present time I think that those three
conIALs have most likelihood of acceptance and use.  If others can
promote and gain acceptance for another, more power to them.  I for one
am willing to consider new ideas.  I just think that they have to prove
their worth and somehow displace the "big three" (my term).

     What does this mean?
