No. They should post in their native language. >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... Well, your doing a pretty good job. >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...

I myself have posted at CSS, if I could have written in German I would have done so, although it seems a much larger percentage of the German posters read and write English than vise versa. Sarah.
