[Foundation-l] On Arabic and sub-language proposals.

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Happy that you agree that we are doing a good job.

As to finding another expert, I am quite happy with the one we have. Your
proposal that we say something along the lines you indicate is not
practical. For your information, you do work also in a non-observable way.
Why should your work be different ?
Thanks,
     Gerard

Nobody is proposing the Lebanese project
