What makes the web strong is not the local language, but the power of a language which (most) people understand and can comunicate with. This is what makes working with/using the internet possible. > I understand and strongly agree that distribution lists like this one > requests its users to use a commonly known language (in the computer > world). Well, you can use a language which nobody understands or wants to use (like Esperanto, French, ...), but you cannot expect the others to reply or even help you. > So such a standard language, if ever appliable (look at Esperanto!), > forced to be used, would be dramatically sad. It is not forced, you are free (thats how the internet works). But do not expect people to be friendly and helpful, when they don't understand you/do not want to understand you. max P.S.: Please wrap your lines and stop TOFU. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s: a--- C++ UL+++ P+ L+++ E--- W+ N++ o++ K- w-- O- M-- V- PS+++ PE-- Y+ PGP++ t--- 5-- X+ R- tv+ b++ DI- D++ G++ e h! r y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
