Me either.  After all, it's Sergey's native language, and he's entitled to
use it just as the rest of us use English or Korean or Swahili or French.
Some days it really bugs me that the net is so English-centric -- uniform
language often leads to homogenized thinking, and that's the last thing we
need in technology.

A little Cyrillic doesn't bother me at all, particularly as Sergey's got
good stuff to say...8-)
