When someone is uncomfortable with English, or wishes to be able to disseminate the answer(s) to non-English speakers, then posting in German, for example, could be taken as a cue that the response should be in German, even if it follows or is accompanied by one in English. We've had plenty of bilingual posts.
One of the benefits of the list has been getting multiple answers from different list members; even in the Scribus team itself there is much more knowledge in the team as a whole than there is with any individual on the team (hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings). Greg
