I suggest that you might want to try posting to a mailing list using a language that isn't your native one before going off on Q Yai QQ. Done properly, you will win friends in a foreign land. Most lists where English isn't the main language this will gain you respect for at least trying to write in their native and many helpful mail messages[**]. We should try to give the same courtesy for foreign posters to our lists. I suggest putting yourself in this persons shoes before going so balistic. It really is hard to do what he's done. I know. It is the second hardest thing I can think of (the first being public speaking in a foreign language). The original post certainly passes is understandable enough for my native ear. I knew what he was trying to say, even if it isn't what I'd write. That's good enough for me. Let us not discourage him by flaming him[*] needlessly, ok? Warner [*] I do not know what gender Q Yai QQ is, so I've made a statistical assumption. Please excuse me if I'm wrong. [**] The Japanese have made me feel very welcome on their lists when I've taken the effort to learn Japanese to post to the lists. I want to thank them since the chance presents itself.
