thanks for pointing this out. I think that (americans especially) folks can be so damn ethnocentric that they forget the fact that most people do NOT in fact speak their language (usually english speakers here). In fact, these folk should be *thanking* the poor speller for 'stooping' to using english because the english speaker knows only the one language. Those monolingual english speakers need to remember that the web is a global community and some very nice multilinguals out there are being very considerate in posting messages in english instead of their native language.
