Hello Daniel Elenius [EMAIL PROTECTED],

As a practical matter, your comments are valid, and from a pragmatic POV I
agree with them.

However:

Conceptually, they are blatantly anglo-centric. After all, they'd make equal
sense for any other language, wouldn't they? Like this:

 I am equally confused. I would rather NOT have non-english on the list, if
 it is avoidable.

Mi estas egale konfuzita. Mi preferus NE havi ne-esperanton chi tie, se ghi
eviteblas.

 Not that I have anything against other languages, but debian-user should be
 an open forum for discussion for all of its readers, and using non-english
 does not propagate that very well.

Mi havas nenion kontrau aliaj lingvoj, sed debian-user estu malferma diskutejo
por chiuj ghiaj legantoj, kaj uzo de ne-esperanto disvastighas malbone.

 Private discussions between a few list readers should be done with private
 email. Of course, if the people posting these non-english mails do not
 comprehend english, the case is different.

Privataj diskutoj inter kelkaj legantoj estu per privata poshto. Kompreneble,
se la skribintoj de jenaj afishoj ne komprenas Esperanton, jen alia okazo!

 But like I said, IMHO we should try to avoid it.

Sed kiel mi jam diris, lau mi, ni evitu ghin.

List language?

1998-11-23 Thread Ossama Othman
Hi guys,

Sorry about that last empty e-mail.  I have an itchy send finger. :)

I was just curious why this list has such an influx of non-english posts.
I am not complaining.  It just seems odd that we're getting so many of
them.

Thanks,
-Ossama

Seems a news server in Poland is leaking onto the mailing list.  We have
notified them.
