I have to say, this seems a tad complicated and confusing, although I understand the original problem this is trying to address. Knowing me, I'll probably end up mis-posting to the wrong list so I apologize in advance for this! One question though: does it seem that this kind of language forking almost makes for three separate silos when LUG should function more as a clearing house for ALL discussions? I'm just concerned that this may "ghetto-ize" the already small community and further isolate each other, when we should have more cross-conversations with one another. At least in the previous form (with all three languages all together), there was more of an opportunity for people to cross-talk, even if they didn't entirely understand everything. Now, I'm just afraid that for those people who only speak ONE of the three languages, they may miss out even more. Just my opinion and I'm more than happy to try this out to see how it goes. Lilly
