"Robert R. Daniel" wrote:Just a slight addendum in English to my attempt to respond wittily in French to a message about foreign language postings.Paul is right in that it is abusive for folks to post exceedingly long and, perhaps, inappropriate messages to the list if those messages are not really pertinent to the core interest and -- if I may -- the "culture" of the list. The long "Hallo Leute" posting does not seem to have been a pertinent or appealing message for most folks on the list. So it may not have been most appropriately addressed to the list as a whole. What provoked my reaction in French was the notion that foreign language postings are entirely inappro- priate. They are no more appropriate or inappropriate per se than other rambling, off-topic, quote-heavy, silly, ridiculous and/or flaming posts. Finally, I must admit my bias: I am a professor of (you guessed it) French. I also consider myself a cosmopolitan citizen of the world and I wish more Americans were cognizant of, sensitive to and, most of all, friendly toward foreign cultures and languages, including points of view and ways of expressing and seeing things that are radically different from typical American thinking. Being an enthusiastic foreign-language speaker in the U.S. is a bit like being a Mac Addict in a PeeCee World.
