Well, of course, since this it's an english list, german (or other) language is off-topic. Flames are off-topic too. So far. Do you think it's a big problem to have native languages in a security list? Most of the stuff we have to read is english anyway, most postings concerning security issues are written in english, and need to be very actual, so translations are a little bit late usually...
There's also the option of creating seperate lists, but that would split the community a good bit in this arena.
I agree this would be a bad idea.
Me too. I have another OT thing still: I don't think that the person who made the first german posting was very ... "serious". First, cross posts are wrong, the language was wrong, and the text itself didn't look like a carefully written document IMHO. I wouldn't wonder if this person isn't even subscribed here, but who knows. So I think it may be a waste of time to think about two single german postings... oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
