Hey, I'll admit it. I was one to write back to Heir Doktor off the
list. I didn't think it was necessary to fill the list with flame
mail. I think it falls under the concept of netiquette (taking a
flamefest off-list that is).
I can't speak any languages other than English, but I'm not going to go
off on other Linux users for not learning my language. I also did NOT
see anything on the Mandrake page stating that this list was English
only.
Heir Doktor, if you'd like to see a language specific mailing lists, I
suggest you write to MandrakeSoft directly requesting the creation of
Cooker-en, Cooker-es, Cooker-ru, Cooker-ch, Cooker-fr, etc. Until then,
I suggest you get over your language bigotry and remember just how big
and yet small this Earth really is.
My apologies to the list for decreasing the signal/noise ratio of this
list with this post. Anything further I have to say on this subject
will be sent to Mikey directly, which he can feel free to filter
straight to /dev/null for all I truly care.
