Re: ma config exacte et question de methode

["Pablo" <chucky sortes com>]

When you post in the list becouse you have to do a question, what language
are you using?
Why if anyone asks in english you answer in French? I think that it is of
bad education.
Could you share your knowledge with the other people of the list?

I really don't remember. So, I believe you.
I am very sorry because, in this case I was unpolite.
But my position stays the same :

Every body has the right to post in its own language to THIS list
and the answer too. It's a question of right to access information.
The proposition to have national list isn't a real solution because
this one is a central point to get information, and if there is a
gnome-list-fr or a gnome-list-de, in fact every french or german
who can understand english will be on this list. And the one
who can't understand English will be very alone on its national list.

I hope this will close the discussion.
If you don't agree, please mail me directly
