Marco, Don't judge all people on this list just by what a few say about some things that they might strongly believe in.
I've been on this list for about 10+ years and it's been very helpful to me. Apart from one or two crazies on here, it's usually a great bunch of expats mixed with some kind and helpful locals so enjoy it!!!!

Is this list a community or is it a nasty fight club? attacks like the ones i have been reading today are strictly forbidden on most lists i read - -where is our moderator? if you don;t have enough respect for each other to speak in some kind of civil manner, why publicize your pissing match? having a difference of opinion makes for fascinating discussion, but childish personal attacks from your laptop are something entirely different. i was a very serious student of structural linguistics, literary theory, etc - and could offer all sorts of insights into why a person might want to learn a certain flavor of english. but i will not talk with immature expats who sling insults at each other. it is not easy being an expat - and my experience has been a pretty lonely one. how sad that i find out that there is a group of expats i could be meeting, only to find out i have no respect for them! sincerely, Marco North
