Ok with me. I'm sure that there are members that speak and can write in
languages that few can understand. No point in posting in that language though,
as nobody will be able to read or respond. There have been posts in Spanish in
the past that I was happy to skip.

Btw, German is _not_ a language that only few can read. Just some webstats from
my website (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rpijl), which is dedicated to my winboard
engine 'the Baron' and which written only in English:

country of origin:

Germany: 20.7%
USA: 17.6%
The Netherlands: 7.7%
UK: 5.4%
Italy: 4.9%
France: 4.3%
Spain: 2.9%
Canada: 2.3%
Sweden: 2.2%
Brazil: 2.0%
Belgium: 1.9%
Poland: 1.7%
