Thank you for publishing an article on Esperanto.
But even a sympathetic and well-researched article may not convey one important point: Learning Esperanto is fun, and quite useful if you would like to get to know people in most nations of the world.

That was three years ago; by now I have 30 correspondents in 20 countries.
