A very good point.  I was about to offer my services, as a skeptical,
perhaps even mildly hostile, judge, and was not planning to participate in
any case.  (Is anyone, at this point?)  But you are quite correct, so I
withdraw my volunteer.  We have several members with native knowledge of
Chinese, who would surely add some balance to the judging.  OTOH, it might
be interesting to see what sort of auxlang a non-westerner would produce.
