toH. DaH tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI' qan vImojpu'! Never thought I'd see the
day when I was accused of conservatism. :)

I was actually trying to take a more liberal view, in the sense of aiming
to respond to the "this is The One Way" attitude. I suppose the net result
is a conservatism in favour of the older canon sources, though. Odd, that.

>From what I've heard of hákarl, it makes the distinction between the
Klingon verbs {rogh} and {ragh} more or less moot. A poem (along with a
confession that I've never eaten it, so this may be a touch unfair):
