qay'be'. Some of my messages lately haven't come through, some even came
back. It's abit weird, as I always send them from the same adress.

If the english was the intended phrase, I think it's just a prefix
error, it should be:
{ghaytan pIj naDev CHO-legh-BE' 'ach Dat ghojwI'pu'wI' DA-tu'laH}
(when talking to one person only)

I actually started this because I noticed that certainly during the past
months, we have had hundreds of messages either completely in Klingon or
about some topic which is too complicated for beginners.
I remember ten years ago, or when I started (1997), more than 50% was
KLBC! Beginners didn't have to ask, because there were enough questions
around. I hope there are still beginners around here lurking who will
appreciate messags for Beginners. Just look at the subject line starting
with KLBC. I will just post something once in a while with no regular
rhythm, just for beginenrs. The advanced can just delete them, just like
the beginners might delete 'ay'Hom wa'SanID vaghDIch ;-)
Lieven.
