But it's spoken by everyone on this list and everyone with a
toolserver account.  German is spoken by a much lower percentage than
100%.  You can post in German here, but it's going to be gibberish to
most subscribers, and having nontrivial quantities of gibberish in
your inbox is pretty annoying.  So personally, at least I would get
annoyed if we had a significant amount of German discussion going on
here -- I'd suggest that it be moved to a separate German list so I
wouldn't have to sort through lots of mail that's completely useless
to me.  (Although, this particular list is so low-traffic that it
wouldn't matter.)
