Then I didn't check my email for the next three messages.

So it wasn't exactly "lots of people".

Hmm, more lojban, eh? ;)  Seriously, no need to apologize, it was an
innocent mistake and we all do stuff like this on occasion.  At least
I know I do.

The funniest part (to me) was that you didn't realize what you had
done even when lots of people on the "lojban-beginners" mailing list
were very confused. =)

Anyway, since we are already off-topic, I will highly recommend the
book "Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error", by Kathryn
Schulz (for everyone, not just you) which gives some fascinating
perspectives on incidents such as this one.
