I don't think so.
The common language on this list is English, as the common language on 
talk-nl is Dutch and on talk-pl is Polish. Why don't I go to talk-pl and 
complain I'm being oppressed because everyone is not using a language I 
can understand.
It doesn't work that way.

Can you back that statement up?
And it does not work for me at this point. I already know English, so 
that time has been spent. I have to invest time learning Esperanto. And 
even more: Esperanto is very much an artificial language for me. I can 
watch movies in English and use that to hone my knowledge of the 
language. If there are movies in Esperanto (probably lip-synced which is 
horrible) I have to go out of my way to get them.

That may well be, but the fact it never took on says something, doesn't 
it?

I don't disrepect you, I'm just ignoring posts in a language I can not 
understand.

Good, dus ich ken in mien eige taal kalle? Versteis tich mich dan nog 
altied? En wat als het get lastigere zinne weare?

I'm certain it is not benificial at all if everyone starts using their 
mother language on this list.
