Anyhow... a few more comments...For those who have been flinging stuff at the USA, please note that the original complaint comes from a CANADIAN (xxx.ca) address. This in addition to the list's Canadian origins. Furthermore, note that I'm based in Mexico (xxx.mx). Finally, I would like to reiterate that the 'offending' posting seems to be a chain letter, a form of semi-spam.
As commented on the list, babelfishing it does seem to churn out a rather amusing result.
While Spanish may be a bit complicated for discussing computer issues due to the use of Spanglish and variations in nomenclature from different localizations, it is most excellent (especially the Mexican version) for describing this type of absurdity. Regrettably, such descriptions rely on barnyard humor, so I'm not going to share them on the list, thus avoiding further excitement. Sorry Brandy.

Before the flame war gets going, do note that the posting in German that Paul refers to seems to be a bit of Spam/chain letter sort of thing and may be unintentional.----------
As far as 'foreign' language is concerned, seems to be that the occasional (2-3 over the past year) non-english posting has been preceded by profuse apology for not using english. Also have seen profuse apology for bad english (when in fact the person did quite well in expressing themselves) in cases when someone obviously does not use english as their primary mode of communication.
Suggest we all ignore the complaint and get on with our lives.
