@tanguatlay,

Not exactly. I am using English to communicate with you but I am not speaking.

I would say that they do, in most contexts. After all, we say that we "speak" to one another in such a forum, even though we are not face-to-face.

@tanguatlay,

"Speakers" refers specifically to language. "Users" is not specific, depending entirely on context or further explanation..
