I would like to see courses on several languages offered, but have zero 
interest in being forced to learn an artificial, relatively unused language 
as an intermediary - i.e. Esperanto. I find Esperanto to be an ugly language -
I realise that this is just my personal taste, but I _am_ entitled to an 
opinion. I also realise that there are quite a few Esperanto hobbyists out 
there who would like to see their baby become the international language. I
don't think it will happen, and therefore find these references to Esperanto
to be an annoying irrelevance.

I don't want to offend, but as I said, I am entitled to an opinion, especially
as I fully support the general idea.

Ron.
