What in the WORLD does that have to do with the fact that newbies usually use hebrew ? stop trying to discredit people just for the sake of discrediting. All I said is that from my experience, the newbies usually like to use hebrew, which is true. the fact the technion forces people to use english has no bearing whatsoever on what i said. > think that stating that the use of Hebrew in this mailing list will > make you a newbie, is just the stereotypes people have long used to > constrain other people to their habits and their reluctance to > accept progress. Emm With all due respect, I don't think you you even heard my opinion regarding hebrew IN LINUX-IL. I for one, wouldn't mind it one bit. All I was suggesting saying is that a second mailing list, supporting hebrew, will be a solution acceptable to ALL OF US. I really dont understand where is this belligerence coming from. > Whether Hebrew is appropriate from a practical sense like > non-Hebrew speaking members, or people not being able to view > Hebrew messages (I don't believe writing Hebrew should be mandatory > since many words cannot be translated to English), that's for the > list community to decide. > > My standpoint, is that people should be allowed to write both > English and Hebrew on the list.

Jewish Traditions ? Huh ? I think you're taking this from the CORRECT context of simpleness and portability between the list's users onto remote and unneccesary philosophic areas. This really isn't complicated. All I said is that a second list permitting hebrew might be the simplest solution. Again, I don't see why is this complicated, or why does it turn me into a bigot to KNOW that new users prefer to ask questions in hebrew.
