Hi Sarah,

I agree with you, that those who can speak english should try to do so, at least
with Christophs idea to add at least a short translation... But there are people
who can't should they be out...

And believe me, well, I try to speak english here, but my english is that worse
that it is really hard work for me to do so...

But maybe another one: You know the german forum of the CSS - from time to time
we have there VERY much english postings - noone ever claimed on that... and
they were right, why should we claim - it's an international hobby - everybody
try's to help those guys, collects the last rests of his school english and try
to explain... Nothing wrong with me... So why not allow a little bit
multicultural, multilanguage here ?

Greets, Thomas
