Seriously, the better you are able to express your problem, the better
your chances of receiving help. *Especially* in a volunteer organization
such as this list.
Language barrier is just a part of that, as numerous "help desk" jokes
illustrate.
Which is worse: Ignoring someone completely, or telling them you might be
able to help if you could understand the question?
