I regret that this happened and wish Dr. Schoen would reconsider
a collaboration on this subject in particular. Something akin
to the Klingon Roundtable Discussion would do well and would likely
fullfill the review requirements of HolQeD.

Will and Lawrence,
I want to hash this out in HolQeD for the very reasons you
have mentioned. This is a prime example of where the
Roundtable, or some variation of it, would benefit the whole
of the Klingon Language Community.
If all else fails could someone find those posts that replied to
my article and send them to me and I would be willing to edit and
condense them for HolQeD.
Better yet, have someone else do it to avoid and appearance of bias.
