Hey

I totally agree on the general idea - I didn't intend to exclude people
from our list!

The problem is that we need to remain coordinated while enabling people
speaking (only) our national languages to reach us... Having 3/4/5 lists
would require some of us to translate info from one list to the other so
that we remain synced, or something.

Or maybe we should just encourage people to post in their language of
preference, and rely heavily on google translator? :)

One solution would be to reply in whatever language the original post
was, but discipline ourselves to copy/paste a possibly automatic
translation of the reply in the message as well, so that people get a
general idea of the question - topic?

Maybe we should even automate this (like providing "this email in French
- - German - Italian - English" links at the bottom)?

Just an idea...

Anyway, I really wasn't trying to troll, our nation is rich of 4
languages plus English, we should encourage regional differences - while
trying to remain federated :)

Prost / Santé / Salute / Cheers ;)
