    Ohboy! are you an optimistic sort ! ;)
    Auxlanging by its very nature is prone to bickering and _linguamachy_.

    An E-o/Interlingua pidgin ya say? There would be _endless_ arguements
over:

    - why a "pidgin"? (Old-style Hardline Auxlangers tend to look down on
pidgins and creoles)

    - why E-o and Interlingua? Why not Novial2000 and Eurolingish, or Glosa
and Frater2? etc.

    - how much E-o vs. Interlingua should be in this pidgin... and why

    - who will be in charge of this project?  WHO?  You gotta be kidding...
