I believe Joel Anderson is on the mailing list (or was, at some time
in the past).
To be fair to him about the Mr. Klingon translator web site, there is
a big warning at the top that it's not a translator:
http://mrklingo.freeshell.org/aol/jpklingon/uta/theory.html#wrong
But OTOH actually publishing a Kindle version of the Psalms in
pseudo-Klingon has done a lot of harm to the Klingonist community by
perpetuating the idea that a word-by-word substitution counts as a
"translation".
