There's no need to hurl abuse. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto

"Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy to learn and politically neutral 
language that would serve as a universal second language to foster peace and 
international understanding... There is controversy over the number of people 
who are fluent in Esperanto, with estimates ranging from 10,000 to as high as 
two million."

So it is a secondary language. Everybody who speaks it speaks another, primary, 
language. Isn't it redundant to have a special mailing list for a group of 
people who may be as small as 10,000 worldwide, all of whom speak another, 
major, language?

You seem upset that I would ask. I hope you don't mistakenly think I meant 
Spanish.
