I would like to add that I too am puzzled by the
enthusiasm for Esperanto.  It seems apparent that
the lingua franca (sorry) of the Net is English.
Whether that is good or bad,  it just is.

Maybe I don't understand why you need another 
language to describe the grammar of (say) Russian.

Just describe the grammar using English words.
I don't really see why it is necessary to use
a language with a nice,  regular grammar. Even if
it is slightly preferable to do this,  it hardly
seems to outweight the overhead of learning another
language.

I know English,  French,  a little German and would
love to learn Russian.  I'm not terribly excited
about using Esperanto to do this.  My point is
that we are already using English. It is quite easy
to explain the concept of French genders using
English,  even though the English doesn't have that
characteristic.


Just my humble opinion,
