I do not think that a mistake when replying a message it is as annoying as posting a polite message and getting as answer an arrogant and inept reply - as happened to Filippos. If you, Ben, get annoyed so easily maybe you should seek professional help. And if some German posters have such a big problem with following the rules it would be advisable for the moderators to check this thing out. As well, this post is not directed towards Germans, but they are the only ones posting in their native language in an English mail list. I cannot see any messages in Bulgarian or Spanish!!! It's about rules and respecting the others! That's all! Ben & co, if you do not understand this, just forget the whole thing, please. br /radu

It is not bitching about the German: it's just so annoying that many of the German participants are unable to follow the rules!
There are quite a few greek guys around, what will this list become if they start posting in Greek? What about French, Italian and all the other languages? Who will understand what? It seems that everyone is able to follow the rules except some german guys ...
Also, posting in German isn't a 1/10th as annoying as someone who CC's with their reply. If one is on the list then there isn't any reason to CC them and the list. It's just a waste of bandwidth.
