I'm REALLY starting to get, well, pissed off at some of these french
postings. I mean, they're excluding a portion of the audience from
reading their viewpoint, and that way you can't get a full story
from _both_ sides. True, they do have a right to
post, and basically do anything, in french, but many of us AREN'T
french! There are many people who can't or WON'T read french out here!
(I'm in the latter - suffered thru High School french because I need
it for the Forces - but I *hate* it, and I hate those who post french
*even though* they know English, but I guess that's just personal
preference) What I really want to know is this: is there ANYONE out
there who would/could take these french postings and make them into
some understandable English? I CAN read french, but I have to sit here and
think about exactly what I'm reading, and I can't do that because I've
got ALOT of mail, etc to read (read - I don't want to waste time
trying to translate). I know there's people out there in the same
boat, and I know we'd appreciate it, even though their ideas STILL
wouldn't make sense! :-)
