I agree with you completly, this is in did very tiresome. First of all having to respond to such comments written with a high-brow attitude, I personaly find very tidious.
The post was a link to a full and detailed description of an event which might be of interest to some people in the community. I don't think transalting it to English is either neceseary or important, nor do I need to impress anyone with my English skills. Weather 1st, 2nd or 3rd hand piece of news, it wasn't ment to impress you, assuming you are very busy carrying the Open Source world on your shoulders as it seems, rather provide a lead hoping someone might be intrested to look into this. There's an agreement (at least with the Makor) of exchanging information within the verious communites in Israel. I personaly realy don't care what you think about Whatsup! in that respect, the same way I seek help on other forums myself (and linux-il is not my first stop, if you must know). Regretefully, pompose, self contained and arrogant attitudes are very typical of small communites, Trying not to generalize I find your attitude counter productive. If you are not intrested you may filter out messages, you don't need to excercise your frustration in public, whatever may it be. Thank you and have a good day as well.
