Foreign language

[Frank Cornew]

Before the flame war gets going, do note that the posting in German 
that Paul refers to seems to be a bit of Spam/chain letter sort of 
thing and may be unintentional.

  As far as 'foreign' language is concerned, seems to be that the 
occasional  (2-3 over the past year) non-english posting has been 
preceded by profuse apology for not using english. Also have seen 
profuse apology for bad english (when in fact the person did quite 
well in expressing themselves) in cases when someone obviously does 
not use english as their primary mode of communication.

Suggest we all ignore the complaint and get on with our lives.
