While the content was odd and certainly inappropriate for the list, the idea that questions should be posed only in English seems a bit parochial. Were I a non-English speaker, I'd sure appreciate the Mac help available here if I needed it. Does the Lists FAQ mention the language to be used here? It took moments to paste the German chain letter into babelfish and enjoy the strangest post I've yet seen here on the Mac lists. Maybe I'm lucky and haven't read too much of this sort of thing but in any case the translated text was more humorous (no doubt) than the original. Dan K
