This is quite rude. Some people..a lot of people on this list do not speak/write English as their first language and just may have some trouble doing so. I can understand what they are asking, so I would think that others could as well.
I think it is a lot more than quite rude, it is disgusting. It is fine to ask people to try and format their messages better and use meaningful subject headers, but to criticise their english is just racist. I wonder how many foreign languages the complainant has mastered to the extent that he could pose a technical enquiry on a mailing list.
He should apologise.
