I don't really mind someone posting a question in another language as long as they realize that most of us will not be able to respond to it. Often enough, I think, there are others out there who can handle that language and they can respond. Hopefully they will not turn it is to a long running exchange on list in some other language. Now, if someone posts a question in something besides English and then begins to rant and flame people for not responding, then it is not acceptable. But, just starting a question here in another language is not so onerous. ////jerry > > Greg > -- > When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. > If you don't, I may ignore the reply or reply to the original recipients. > For more information, see http://www.lemis.com/questions.html > See complete headers for address and phone numbers. > > --SA70dWWv8Z+SnoUH > Content-Type: application/pgp-signature > Content-Disposition: inline > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) > > iD8DBQFDytSKIubykFB6QiMRAuglAJ0TCv8myrrOtPQzb2ryP7mQKjFB1wCghtw/ > qV3CukL8rFshuVl2JJ1yW5g= > =67AN > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > --SA70dWWv8Z+SnoUH-- >
