Hi everyone,
From a practical point of view, you are better off having bigger
lists as it's easier to build momentum that way. Smaller lists have
a harder time reaching a certain critical mass and getting things
accomplished, while people feel much better about posting on a list
where there's lots happening already.
I agree with this.
I don't see that it's a problem for us to have the odd comment or post
in a language other than English. It seems to me to be less friendly to
suggest that people *must* write in a language that they don't
necessarily speak well. However I guess having a list that works that
way would mean people like me, who only speak one language (yes I know
that's pathetic, but there you go) might have to ask for a translation
at times, so we can know what's going on. I wouldn't mind that at all,
as long as there are people about who wouldn't mind translating things
occasionally, if they can.
Helen.
