I am against it. I cannot moderate a non-English message, so I do not think people should post in non-English languages. However, I tolerate it just like I tolerate minor profanity. I will delete non-English posts under two conditions: 1) Someone Emails me that the non-English post is inappropriate. Since I cannot make that judgement for myself, I can only assume that the person Emailing me is correct. It is better to play it safe, then sorry. I will inform the poster the reason for my deletion just like I would any other deletion. 2) I will also post a message in a given thread that future non-English posts will be deleted if the thread gets way out of hand (say more than 15 messages). If people continue to post non-English messages in that thread (or start up a new thread), I will delete the additional messages. There is usually no need to post in a non-English language. If you wish to say something to someone where you can express yourself better in a non-English language, then Email that person. Actually, I would prefer that people who want to post in a non-English language also place an English translation (a reasonable one, not one of these automatic ones from the net) in the message as well. I cannot force anyone to do this, but if you do not post an English translation, remember that I will not have any context in which to make a judgement. So, #1 above could occur on a totally on topic non-offensive post. > >What is your position on the posting of email content? People can post whatever they wish as long as it follows the other guidelines. So, if I Email someone that their message has been deleted and they decide to post my Email to the group, I do not particularly care. > >Will > >ps -- Good luck to all of you. Looks like we have a good set of nominees. I think so. Each nominee seems to be a reasonable person. KarinsDad :)
