Harald I happen to be french and to agree with Jorge.
I'm not against posts in german, but I would like you to realize that most
people here including myself do not understand them.
I don't care about national languages. I don't care about french. I don't care
about spanish. I don't care about german.
I think english is now recognized as the most used language to communicate
internationally and should be used whenever possible.
On the other hand I understand that sometimes you do not have enough time and
instead of not posting an interesting information you prefer to post in german.
And that's fine with me, because somebody will translate for you and I will be
able to read your information. Like the result J8 against CT15 (thank you for
posting the result).
I just want to point out that being in favour of english does not mean that you
are an arrogant american.
BTW the United States of America do not rule the world. Only americans believe
it, and actually not all of them (you know some of them are smart enough). ;-)
Peace!
