Janko Gorenc and conlang numbers

Below is my email to Janko and his response (unedited) about his
requests for the numbers 1-10 in our conlangs. The address in his
response shows that he sent it to the list, but I thought it would have
generated responses by now... I just did a "review conlang" request to
the listserv, and it does not appear that he is subscribed. I probably
got his email because he CC'd it to me.

ME:
Several people on the CONLANG list are wondering what your purpose is
for requesting the numbers 1-10 in various conlangs. Perhaps it would be
wise to post a message stating your purpose, or if you are not a member
of the list, then to inform me about your purpose, so I can relay the
message to them.

JANKO:
James!

Thank you because you warm me, that several people on the CONLANG list
are wondering what my purpose is for requesting the numbers 1-10 in
various conlangs.
I start collect numbers from various languages and dialects in year
1984. This is 19 years ago.
At this moment I have a collection of numbers in 7025 languages and
dialects. 928 is conlangs (numbers 1-10 I have in 854 conlangs). This
year I managed to collect numbers from 1-10 in 183 conlangs.
My goal is to collect numbers from 1-10 in 1000 conlangs.
I would like collect yet 146 them. When I will get that, I will open my
  net page. The address of that page will be sent to those people who
will be interested in.
If I would have my own computer with conection to the net.
I might already had my own page.
Everything I find in a Local Library.
I will try to make my own page in year 2004 at my friend.

THANK YOU ALL CREATORS CONLANGS WHICH YOU HELPED AT COLLECTING NUMBERS!

He appears to be collecting them like other people collect bottle caps
or stamps or baseball cards ;)
