I've noticed that nobody responds negatively to questions by Russian

I don't believe this is a fair response.
Perhaps, though I'm not sure myself what is said in Russian to them whereas I can read the French. But the reply in, I think, Swedish to this question in French was a very good indication of what an impossible babel this or any other list would be if a single language were not declared and respected.
Peter.
When did this become an English-only list?
For years the policy of this list was that you were free to post in any language you were comfortable with, but with the caveat that you had the best chance of getting help if you posted in English. Postings in other languages were often answered in that language, with an added pointer to a local support list in that language.
So again, I ask: has that policy changed, or are the xenophobes just trying to impose their biases on the rest of us?
