Hi Fergus,
A minute after that I wrote my answer "I got it" and did send that.
But let's make a nice discussion about behaviour in this newsgroup.
Before you read this, you have to know that I did first make a message to
Herfried wherein I asked him to do what you asked. Not because I fully
agree, but because it is so few extra work to put that extra sentence (I did
this, because I have probably the same feeling about this as Herfried, but
on the other hand think to understand why you ask it).
I think that we have to remember, that probably for the most visitors at
this newsgroup, English is not there major language. They use it and that is
normal, because the program language is too basically in English.
You have to know, that non native English speaking people, sometimes become
a little bit sad about English speaking people, who only know that language
and are thinking that they are speaking the language of the world, while it
is not. To be honest, we measure them about that.
Don't think it are only English speaking people, we in Holland see it often,
the same is with a lot of people from Germany and from France.
Strange is that with Spanish and Italian speaking people it is not. While
Italian is in Europe as much spoken as English and French and I thought
Spanish is Worldwide more spoken than English.
What I write is not about you and most other native speaking English
visitors to this newsgroup and expressly not the regulars.
Therefore I think we can see that extra attention from Herfried (when he
does it) only to be for those who only speak English and have no alternative
for another newsgroup than this, because there is no special EN language
newsgroup for "dotnet.vb.language".
I have seen you helping someone in probably strange language for you, about
a script, for a woman. Did you know what language you were writing?
Cor.
