English is the language all members >do understand here. Das sehe ich anders. Jeder sollte in der Sprache schreiben dürfen, die er bevorzugt. Natürlich muß er sich dann auch darauf einstellen, daß die Mehrheit der User seinen Text nicht versteht - oder mißversteht. Aber das ist dann seine eigene Entscheidung. I don't agree. Everyone should be allowed to use the language he feels at home with. Of course he should bear in mind that the majority of readers will not be able to understand a word of what he says - or will even misunderstand his words. But that's the decision of the writer. I agree with Harald: Sometimes you're in a bit of a hurry, and just copy&paste a german text into here. That's perfectly okay with me. I guess he knows too well that a lot of americans can't understand a word he says and maybe don't even know that such a language as german even exists - just kidding. But he does not mind. Neither do I. If I want to post only in german in the future, it would be a frustrating and limiting experience. But who is to ban me from this experience, if I chose to live through it? ;-) Take care, Andreas
