Well I do not really thik that all the subscribers of
[email protected] or of [email protected] really want to see
discussions of subjoined consonants, independent vowels, and
transliteration systems. For my part I have set up an alias to include
everyone who has expressed an interest in discussing Khmer
([email protected], [email protected], [email protected],
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected],
[email protected], [email protected]). It's easier to have these
discussions privately (after a public invitation of course). Call us the
ad-hoc Khmer committee if you like.
