It was not off-topic; it confirmed that his interpretation was along
the lines of what I intended to convey.

No, I merely commented that it wasn't important to all non-english
speakers. You replied by claiming that by my argument making GDM have
French as it's default language would be just as sane. I countered
that argument by explaining that the default language of the Debian
project and thereby its tools is English, not French. You decided to
quote a single line of an argumentation out of context; by doing such
things you can get people to say more or less anything.
You continue your argument by attacking straw-men and bordering on the
edge of ad-hominem. I have no idea why this is suddenly something of
a personal attack to you, it's not my intention at least.

You claimed it was important to all non-english speakers. I said it
wasn't.

That the fix is harmless is your opinion. It's not shared by
everyone.

Please, re-read the thread any to to understand what I'm trying to
say.
