I am glad you followed up on this. I did not want to push too much in my previous email, to avoid to appear rude to the english speakers of the list.
One of the most greatest realizations I had at the Euro RevCon was how accommodating non-English speakers often are of those of us who speak only one language (or in my case two if Boontling counts <g>).
Only about half of the attendees at ERC were native English speakers, yet no one had any trouble using English as the lingua franca. Considering I'm among the majority of Americans who speak only one language I was grateful, if not humbled.
So while I don't know if there's a language mandate for this list, personally I don't mind posts in any language. Given the ratio of English to non-English speakers on this list it shouldn't be surprising if there are fewer responses to non-English posts, but I would feel very uncomfortable about banning them. I can use Google when I need to, and it probably wouldn't hurt me to be more familiar with other languages.
If the folks who speak the half-dozen languages who were present at ERC can put up with a weekend of English, it would seem the least we can do is be equally accomodating.
