Nor do I.
My intention is to provide a forum for people (like me) who don't
have the ability to do their first steps in tlhIngan Hol by using
english bases.
My list is not ment as a rival to the KLI - it is intended to be
an addition!
I like the idea of people all over the world using tlhIngan Hol
to communicate without beeing practiced in english, neccessarily.
Sure, you're right: the tlhInagn Hol-community shall not be split
into little fragments! But, I think it should be held together by
its heart: Hol.
The reason I posted my mail is because I think it is neccessary to
keep in close touch with KLI as "high court" concernig matters
of tlhIngan Hol. Therefore there must be german people using
BOTH lists.

I don't think of it as useful, having italian or swedish language here.

Fixing cloaking device... ;-)

You mean:"I cause the server to be build"??
Did I get this right?

You say, I should change the name?

I started in Khemorex Klinzhai (greatest, aeh... largest german language
based KlingonFanClub!), now spreading over german klingon newsgroups to
get people together who want to practice and use Hol without neccessarily
having to use english. I already said that...

I hope they do...
It has just begun... let's see what is out there!
(it even might become a flop)
