I realize you wrote this message long ago, lojmIt tI'wI' nuv, but I read it
only now. I've been in China at the time of you writing this and so probably
didn't have the time to read it.
Surry, but don't you know how to use Wikipedia? Otherwise it'd have been he
easiest thing to contact me in various ways, starting from my own userpage.
Or what do you mean by "anonymously writes to a public forum" (my Wikipedia
user page gives away almost too much information). Also, please note that
I'm not a native speaker of English, so yes, my pages do include some typos
and errors and you're all free to correct them if it pains you to read my
imperfect English (and flawed Klingon).
Anyways, obviously you've all found out now. You're all free to edit that
page and add new terms or make corrections. I never really published that
page because I felt it was too incompleted and full of small mistakes and
because much more work has to be done.
