Tu cita Edo Bernasconi, ex su "Interlingua au Esperanto". Un polemista anti-
interlinguan ha postate un traduction anglese de duo capitulos in le rete.

Io ha justo scribite un message su plus longe message re isto, ma illo pare
haber perdite se en route. In breve, Bernasconi es tendentiose e errorose e
non merita ulle confidentia. On debe scriber un plus detalliate analyse, ma
isto exige tempore. Crede me que ni de Wahl, ni altere occidentalistas
importante esseva o es racistas.

Amicalmente,

Chris
