The reason for this is probably that SuSE is a German company. So if someone
buys software from a German company, has a complete set of German
documentation, then looks for help on SuSE's German speaking website and
finds these mailing lists, then he _might_ simply forget or overlook the fact
that the language is English, not German.
The same happened to me when I first subscribed to a SuSE mailing list. I
hadn't received any posts in this list yet and inadvertently posted my
question in German. What happened? I received a _friendly_ reply that the
language of the list is English. I apologized and translated my question to
english.
Personally I think it's sad that SuSE is not offering mailing lists (or even
their own newsserver) in different languages. Mandrake for example is
offering mailing lists in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian
and Polish. Only the security and developer lists are in English.
And finally, I think it's time to get back to the topic of this list. People
should not complain if somebody is making a mistake here but try to help him
to correct his mistake.
Ciao,
Oliver
PS: Sorry for the German text in the first line of my posting. And sorry for
the Italian in the penultimate line.
PPS: Sorry Bill for sending this reply directly to you first. I'm so used to
pressing the reply button if I want to reply that I sometimes forget that
this doesn't work for mailing lists. One more reason to use a newsserver
instead of mailing lists...
