You've just used a double negative, which is no better in Klingon than
English - drop the <-be'>. I also think <lab> is better than <ghItlh> for
posting a message to the list.

ghoj ghaH neHchugh, vaj ghItlhnISbej. po'choHlu'meH, qeqnISlu'ba'.

maj. Of course, since you are using a no object prefix, it should be the
plural <pe->.

This part doesn't work. I really don't know what you're going for with the
<'e'> bit, but here is a suggestion for how to fix it: <... labwI'pu'
tItungHa'>.
