Well, that is not quite true. I think that there actually is a Spanish
list too...
Anyway, my opinion: If people think they need a Dutch-only list, it's not
up to me to stop them. I might even subscribe to it. But, these people
should realize that the only information that will ever be posted to the
list will be by people who can't speak English (which aren't all that
many...) or by people who are nice enough to bother posting to that list
as well (which, knowing the general lazyness of people, won't be all that
many either). So, people who subscribe to that list only will miss out on
almost all of the information.
Unless someone is going to translate every single message from both lists
and post it to the other. But I don't think anyone will, it would be way
too much work...
So, if that's what people want, a Dutch-only list with hardly any
information, I'd say, go ahead and do it. Just don't expect remotely as
much information as on the international list...
